From the recording 1983 • No Borders Here
Lyrics
I like to take a dancing class each year
it helps myself to keep in touch with me
and the girls I meet are different
t than the ones I meet at work
and there's always at least
one sensitive guy
there is a girl I like to pair up with
she comes from Germany she's beautiful
and I like the way she dresses
and I like the way she moves
we never speak we only acquiesce
there is a mirror in the locker room
and sometimes after class we stay and dance
and she always shows me new steps
and I try to follow her
follow her? Berlin is far away
I must stay
I must stay in shape
I must try
I must try new steps
must perfect
must perfect each move
that's harder?
I will try that then
but sometimes
sometimes I have fears
a strange and
a strange and dark force
is trying
trying to pry me
pry me from
pry me from myself
this is why
this is why I move
this is why
this is why I dance
must protect
must perfect each step
I must try
I must dance faster
this is the last dancing class I'll have
the announcement came today after the class
she said - you're two hundred years old now
there's no one left to hold you
this is the last dancing class you'll have
