Once I dreamed I was dancing

With Isadora Duncan

In a silver caf é

It was a caf é that was not near here

She was planning to diversify

And she say I should do the same

So I whistled to her how I loved her the best

But she sang "I can't believe you own this attitude"

So with some ballet moves I removed her shoes

And I painted my lips to hers and still she sang

"I can't believe you own this attitude"

She said I can't believe you own this attitude

She needed her beauty sleep

But I didn't want it to sound like that

Her mind was occupied

Her hard coffee was cold by then as snow

She sang "my smile is more than pearly white

And my dreams are more than you"

And she sang "My yellow eyes are more than mirrors

And my scarf is more than costume"

She sang I can't believe you own this attitude

Yes I sang I can't believe you own this attitude

She closed her New Directions paperbook

And screamed "there is no shelter in the arts"

She'd been crying all day but now her eyes

They were brighter than the moon

She sang "my smile is more than pearly white

And my dreams are more than you"

And she sang "My yellow eyes are more than mirrors

And my scarf is more than costume"

She sang I can't believe you own this attitude

I can't believe

I can't believe you own this attitude

I can't believe

I can't believe you own this attitude
