Album: Royal Blues (2016)

Future Ghost

There she goes
In Sunday clothes
My future ghost
Missing me most
Head to toe
Over-exposed
And undercoat
Of acetone

The clock resorting to thievery
Whatever else I expect from me
A Pollock spatter of bravery
Cause what's eating her now's got a taste for me

I'm dancing for my life
Am I getting it right
Don't let me down now
Keep spinning me round and round
I'm dancing for my life
Am I keeping in time
Don't let me go
Don't tell me the dance is over

There she goes
In fur and pearls
My future ghost
Is all a show
What I've done
And how I chose
I ask, I'm told
I'm not to know

The clock resorting to thievery
Whatever else could you want from me
This starlette's taking the time I need
To feel like I'm taking the time I need

I'm dancing for my life
Am I getting it right
Don't let me down now
Keep spinning me round and round
I'm dancing for my life
Am I keeping in time
Don't let me go
Don't tell me the dance is over

The dance is over
The dance is over

I'm dancing for my life
Am I getting it right
Don't let me down now
Keep spinning me round and round
I'm dancing for my life
Am I keeping in time
Don't let me go
Don't tell me the dance is over
Don't tell me the dance is over
Don't tell me the dance is over
