I speak fast and I'm not gonna repeat myself No So listen carefully to every word I say: "I'm the only one who's gonna get away with making excuses today You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have" Blackmailed myself Cause I ain't got anyone else "This is a stick up Give us all your inspirations" I've got the red carpet blues baby "So put your hands in the air and don't make a sound But don't get the wrong idea We're gonna shoot you We're gonna shoot you And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet That could change just how this goes No We're gonna shoot you We're gonna shoot you" When I said that I'd return to you I meant more like a relapse Now and again I think "His and her's" "For better or worse" But the only ring I want buried with me are the ones around my eyes "You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have" I've got the red carpet blues baby "Put your hands in the air and don't make a sound But don't get the wrong idea We're gonna shoot you We're gonna shoot you And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet That could change just how this goes" And everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat "Put your hands in the air and don't make a sound But don't get the wrong idea We're gonna shoot you We're gonna shoot you And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet That could change just how this goes" And everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat But don't get the wrong idea We're gonna shoot you We're gonna shoot you

I think that it's high time we had a talk I think that we're making a big mistake I've been feeling lately the magic is gone Are we just together for convenience sake, baby I don't believe it (feeling) I don't think that's true (tied down) It'll just pass if we allow it to (need to break free) It's just a stage we're going through (they say clean cuts) I think you're just restless for something new (heal much faster) Baby, Feeling like we pay our dime And all we get in return Is a piece of each other's time Are we just Taxi Dancing Lost somewhere in a slow dance for two And the band that was playing Has finally stopped playing our favorite song Are we just Taxi Dancing You're paying for me and I'm paying for you And are we holding on to a feeling With desperation Ohhh Don't know if you're right Don't know if you're wrong Seems to me we haven't danced long Don't make it hard (I won't) Don't make it easy (hold you) We'll just walk away (if you) At the end of the song (must go) Baby, Put one last nickel in the jukebox Give that love we once felt Just one final spin around 'Cause we're just Taxi Dancing Lost somewhere in a slow dance for two And the band that was playing Has finally stopped playing our favorite song And we're just dancing And the band that was playing Has finally stopped playing our favorite song Are we just Taxi Dancing You're paying for me and I'm paying for you And are we holding on to each other in desperation Taxi Dancing

Talk about life, imitating art Well I was sure that I heard the Director yell, "Take it from the start" And I could feel my body crushing yours Camera dollied into place Your husband's in the front row, I couldn't look him in the face Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong But it grew too fast, too strong Don't you think your friends are talking Alyson? They're blaming it all on me I'm blaming it all on love Well don't you think your friends are talking Alyson? Just a little sexual tension Under the guise of love Young and tragic, I really felt the part While we were sweating and screaming tearin' out his heart Well I was sure I heard the wind and the wires Crying in sympathy For star-crossed lovers, Ally that ain't you or me Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong But it grew too fast, too strong Don't you think your friends are talking Alyson? They're blaming it all on me I'm blaming it all on love Well don't you think your friends are talking Alyson? Just a little sexual tension Under the guise of love For a limited run in to your local bedroom We knew the curtain would be coming down soon Reviews were mixed, the press was unkind Ally I hope they will forgive us in time, in time Part of the attraction was that we knew it couldn't last So we closed our eyes and held on Don't you thing your friends are talking Alyson? Who were we trying to fool? What was I thinking of? Don't you think your friends are talking Alyson? They're blaming it all on me I'm blaming it all on love Well don't you think your friends are talking Alyson? Just a little sexual tension Under the guise of love
