Makin' Excuses

Throw on That old song That's unchanged melody Could calm you just like me Throw in Some dancin' That familiar rhythm Clears up that schism But he refuses Makin' excuses You let your hair down Kick off your heels now Box in the moonlight Til the sunrise taps you out You're feeling snake and rhythm Bare feet and precision The silhouette in constant motion Spinning a web to get his attention And he refuses Makin' excuses He won't get down No no no no no no I can't move to this song Right always moving wrong I should be gone I should be running along No I got work in the morning Think I ate something with poison I'm hearing voices I chipped my front tooth I am telling the truth I'm not making excuses I know it's alarming I think I've come down with something These are not ruses I'm not telling lies I might die I'm not making excuses You got no time to mend A garden of lemons That he planted in his kisses When he thought you weren't paying attention He's drinking milk so sour Getting bored and by the hour A silhouette in constant motion Spinning a web of tired affection Go in With movement A stiff stiletto Will move repetto It's so fleeting Bears repeating I think you're making it up I think you're making it up I can't move to the song Right always moving wrong I should be gone I should be running along No I got work in the morning Think I ate something with poison I'm hearing voices I chipped my front tooth I am telling the truth I'm not making excuses I know it's alarming I think I've come down with something These are not ruses I'm not telling lies I might die I'm not making excuses No I got work in the morning Think I ate something with poison I'm hearing voices I chipped my front tooth I am telling the truth I'm not making excuses I know it's alarming I think I've come down with something These are not ruses I'm not telling lies I might die I'm not making excuses
