We complain the floor's uneven When we simply don't know how to dance In a sentimental treason Each word is charged as every glance My foes approach and I start singing How do I defend against my friends? The treasure buried where I fumbled The ball into the tiger's den Maddened fingers spar With the laughing strings I was very close but no cigar We were on the corner with our cup The lad with light feet made the girl light up Putting the pep back into the step Where you would leap is now where I have leapt I'm an easy victim of nostalgia I was making friends among the blind The filament was bright at high noon Radiating from the signs Maddened fingers spar With the laughing strings It was very close but no cigar Find the low denominator With a hundred pairs of eyes Leaning on an arm that failed us Against the grain it's common life I was choking on imagination Still I know I get the gist Sifting through a tired memory In Paris turning with the twist
CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR
