Peter Hammill - In Slow Time

Dance the dance
dance the dance
till show time
the show goes on.

Dance the dance
dance the dance
in slow time
if that's what you want.

Dance the dance
in the back of the car
dance the dance
in the cocktail bar
till show time let it ride.

Dance the dance
I feel I've been here before,
dance the dance
this could be anywhere at all
in slow time.

Danced the dance,
or it soon will be;
danced the dance,
I'll be back here with me
in no time.

Danced the dance,
in no time danced the dance.
Danced the dance,
it's show time dance the dance
in slow time.

Dance the dance
dance the dance
till show time.

Dance the dance
dance the dance
in slow time.

Dance the dance
dance the dance
in no time.

In no time danced the dance
It's show time dance the dance
in slow time.
