Dark side

"Come and ask me if I want to dance with you
I think you will.
It gets cold and lonely on my dark side of the moon,
The air thin and chill.

Come and show me what the grey world looks like when it's blue;
I think you can.
You've got golden lips and I have got a silver spoon;
We don't need romance

'cause i've danced with romeos and gigolos, philosophers and slackers,
vagabonds and cambridge dons, the king of cool heir apparent,
infidels and jezebels, and poets with no talent...
but they've never shone on the dark side of my moon.

I was thinking love is just a complicated game
You play in the dark.
No-one told me strategy was only for defence
And winners thank luck.

Take my hand and show me how to spin around this floor;
I don't know how!
Come unlearn me everything i've ever learned before,
I'm ready now.

Now that you've warmed me, i never want to be that cold again.
Cold may be easy but nothing,
Nothing comes to nothing in the end.

Take my hand and lead me where the music is alive;
I think you can.
You've got golden lips and a whole lifetime in your eyes;
We don't need no plan.

Come and ask me if i want to dance with you;
I think you will
And when a thousand moons have spun around this earth of ours
We'll be dancing still..."
