Lyrics The Dance At Delmonico's - Shinobu

The Dance At Delmonico's

The night reeks of disdain
Foiled plans and stolen bottles of champagne
Reunion dance at Delmonico’s and a broken leg
A misled riot, two soldiers with nothing better
Now one’s lying dead and the other pours over the counter
Mr. In and Mr. Out are sloshing 'round the streets while
Gordon quietly kills himself
A fist of money woes
The damn dance at Delmonico’s whose music
You have to understand
But now Edith wants another man, she says
Of course I’ll leave with you
As she slips out to the avenue
Quite disgusted with her fantasies
Of Gordon Sterret romantically
This is my vacation and I won’t let you drag me down
With a cheap sob story and that plastered-on frown
You can’t expect me to give handouts to my ancient friends
After all, this is my vacation
She’s a Jewel, a regular diamond
Gordon, can’t you see?
She’d ward away anyone for you
If only you would stay
She’s a Jewel, a regular diamond
Gordon, but who are we to decide?
Maybe you wanted to die desperately
The streets reek of disdain
In and out share breakfast and champagne
Jewel wakes up to a half-filled bed
Empty bottles on display
They’ve reached the top but they demand another floor now
We’ve reached the top but we all want another morn now
Take us to heaven X 29
