The Ghost Of The Hallway Dancer

from The Moon And Me by Chris Webb

/

lyrics

The last time I saw you your face was a blotch
My hands start to shake and my feet start to swell
It was fear all this time that was knotting your hair
And pride in a nutshell that kept us from there
So drink, all ye stars, and then light up the ball
The ghost of the hallway dancer

At 7 o clock all the masks start to fall
My feet start to tap and the music as well
Though deep down I know you're not missing the beat
It remains my personal hell
So drink, all ye stars, and then light up the ball
The ghost of the hallway dancer

Last night I was new on a beach with three more
The guilt woke me up from the sheets with a wink
Sweat on the fingertips couldn't reach for the light
And frozen to my pillow, couldn't reach for a drink
So drink, all ye stars, and then light up the ball
The ghost of the hallway dancer

If dreams can unwind you then sleep is a curse
And nostalgia can burn in a vat of my songs
Like memories, like mind, it's just more of the same
I guess that we knew that all along
So drink, all ye stars, and then light up the ball
The ghost of the hallway dancer

So look at you now, with your hair in a bow
And look at me too with a friend in the booze
You're the same girl now as the one in the dress
Looking in the mirror in your ballet shoes
So drink, all ye stars, and then light up the ball
The ghost of the hallway dancer
