Picking Up the Needle

I’m gonna stop this dance
In the middle of downward swing
You can see I’ve broken form
And you can’t do a thing

You didn’t need the music stop
To hear the other shoe drop
I’m so tired
I’m terribly tired

I’m stopping this dance
Nothing you can do more
I’m picking up the needle
Please just leave the floor

You didn’t need the music stop
To hear the other shoe drop
I’m so tired
I’m terribly tired

This dance is stopped
We would never win awards
We were never in it for that
Not what we’re working towards

You didn’t need the music stop
To hear the other shoe drop
I’m so tired
I’m terribly tired

Resting on the wooden chair
Folding just like our little story
The chatter ends and lights go dim
Thinking I gave you the glory

You didn’t need the music stop
To hear the other shoe drop
I’m so tired
I’m terribly tired of you
