i'm lonely today
but in a good way
i've let my heart lead
without mercy sometimes
i'm faithful to you
and i know i will be
and i'm not always kind, but i'm trying

there's a zydeco band
in the last sticky light
and i'm dancing with strangers, one after another
and the only thing left
to want from this night
is you dancing with me as my own sweetest lover

you're in the city and you're looking for desert
then you're in the desert and you're wishing for rain
you're in his arms looking for comfort
he's given you comfort and you're wishing for pain

not another dark waltz
i dream these too often
out in the back
digging holes for our dinner
another brass tack
for the lid of my coffin
another black feather
for the wings of a sinner

you're in the city and you're looking for desert
then you're in the desert and you're wishing for rain
you're in his arms looking for comfort
he's given you comfort now you're begging for pain

next time i see you
could you act like a stranger and
kiss me like you don't know love has a chance
remember that first time
in my old apartment
whenever our feet touch the ground
let 'em dance
