I had my dream I held your hand on that broad avenue
D C G D
We crossed the road And never spoke to another as we flew

An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory

And when your man would turn his head I'd see you look at me

Pools of brown and sea of red and demons in your pocket

That same romance Performed a dance inside your silver locket

A corner exit not tall enough to walk out standing straight

Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gate

Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to do

But seems like everybody does this every waking moment
