lyrics

Down in the old theatre cafe
Our lips stained with wine
Mother on my right
My sister silver lined
We dined among the well to do
I tried to be refined
But I was cornered by her conscience
In her sad refrain
Or maybe I imagined the whole thing

She told us it was over
Pretending that I knew
I still could not see clearly
Through the smoke, the tightropes and the booze
I asked her one starving question
How was your heart undone
She said the dealers always win with their
Sleight of hand honey
They’ll cheat your love for the game
Or maybe you can imagine the whole thing

She said he sings his love songs
To the other girls in town
He charms them with his harmonies
And teaches them to smile and bow
In her words I felt a sorrow
Like a mourning string quartet
Whose forgiveness hasn’t found its way
To freedom yet
Or maybe I imagined the whole thing

I guess every union has a time to expire
Making us cynical by
Revealing loves faithful liar
I used to be a dreamer
Of the sentimental kind
Holding hands under street lights
And dancing on high wires
Or maybe I imagined the whole thing
