The Show

I once knew a woman who had a disease.

Yeah, I once knew a woman that could make your heart freeze.

Now, she's no supermodel and she ain't no débutante,

but one reason or another she might be the one you want.

If you're lookin' for some lovin' and somebody who cares,

well I'm sorry friend to tell you this, but you better look elsewhere.

Though, if you're lookin' for a good time and it's only for the night,

then my friend I'll tell you somethin'. She is sure to treat you right

When she says dance puppet dance,

you better be quick to obey,

because she'll be damned if you're not good enough

to get a role in her play.

Yeah, she said dance puppet dance,

but if you're quick to refuse,

then you're one lucky son of a gun,

and in the end it's a good life to choose.

Now, this woman had a few good men wrapped up in her spell,

and I certainly can tell you that they didn't fair too well.

Some have managed eventually to sever all their ties,

but the two stars of the show waited too late to realize.

One said "Baby will you marry me?" and she was quick to reply

"Yes, but what he doesn't know won't hurt about my army of other guys"

Yet another was kept on the sidelines and that's the only place he'll ever be.

She stole his heart, trapped it in lies, and took his virginity.

Now, I must say in the end we all pay.

The truth is alive and it shines it's light each day.

But once the puppets saw their strings

it was far too late for justice to sing,

cause now the act is over and the credits roll.

The ending now has taken toll.

And she said dance puppet dance,

he was quick to obey,

but I'm sorry to disappoint you when I don't come to the play

because she said dance puppet dance.

I was quick to refuse

because in the end both the puppets and their master are sure to lose.

So I've cut my strings,

but I cant set you free.

Just dance puppet dance.

There's no room for you in me.
