I sway in place to a slow disco
And a glass for the saints and a bow for the road

Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'?
And I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave

Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost
Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost

There's blood in my ears and a fool in the mirror
And the bay of mistakes couldn't get any clearer (any clearer)

Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'?
And I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave

Slip my hand (slip my hand) from your hand (from your hand)
Leave you dancin' with a ghost (dancin' with a ghost)
Slip my hand (slip my hand) from your hand (from your hand)
Leave you dancin' with a ghost (dancin' with a ghost)

Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
(Don't it beat a slow dance?)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
(Don't it beat a slow dance? Don't it beat a slow dance?)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
(Slow dance, slow dance to death)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
(Slow)

Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Slip my hand from your hand)
(Leave you dancin' with a ghost)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Slip my hand from your hand)
(Leave you dancin' with a ghost)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Slip my hand from your hand)
(Leave you dancin' with a ghost)
