There's a man in a black hat
Earnings on a smiling skull
Talking to a ballerina
In silk threads with a broken nose
I overheard your conversation
And your theme indeed be strange
To avoid further complications
I suggest you go your separate ways
Well they never see it coming
Like the train run out of track
If you want to
Keep your engine humming
Keep your eyes wide ahead
& don't look back
There's still lessons in these blues
We're still free to choose
So put on your dancing shoes
& come on we've got nothing to lose
It's only space & time
Big city girls pick your pockets clean
The good times done past us by
If a man ain't what he seems
Well maybe that mans a spy
Well they never see it coming
Like the train run out of track
If you want to keep your engine humming
Keep your eyes wide ahead & don't look back
There's still lessons in these blues
We're still free to choose
So put on your dancing shoes
And...
There's still lessons in these blues
We're still free to choose
So put on your dancing shoes
'Cuz you know what to do
