lyrics

Some asshole in a Grand Am drives by with his arm around his girlfriend while I walk down eighth street in the blistering sun, whistling my cheap tunes to no one. There’s a glimmer in his eye. There’s one hand on the wheel. The light turns green. The tires squeal. The doors are open. The fat congeals. There’s a shudder in my breath when the package unseals. I’m a dancer in rose. I’m an artist disposed. I’m a long range missile. I’m a cheater exposed. I’m a glutton for food. I’m a glutton for love. I sing for everyone. I sing for no one. I’m a dancer in rose. Some guy in a Cadillac drives by me in the middle of the night and he stops in the center of the road to ask me if I need a ride. I say no thanks but he insists, so I get into the car and give him my address. And now I’m looking at the city through tinted panes of glass. The rose colored streets and the rose colored rats. I’m a dancer in rose. I’m an artist disposed. I’m a long range missile. I’m a cheater exposed. I’m a glutton for food. I’m a glutton for love. I sing for everyone. I sing for no one. I’m a dancer in rose. There’s an art to the dance and there’s a skill to the tension. While they yell at their chauffeurs we restart the engine. There’s an art to the steal and there’s a skill in convention. While they work on their acting we work on invention. I’m a dancer in rose. I’m an artist disposed. I’m a long range missile. I’m a cheater exposed. I’m a glutton for food. I’m a glutton for love. I sing for everyone. I sing for no one. I’m a dancer in rose.
