Palais de dance

Väldigt Belle & Sebastian, väldigt Jens Lekman, väldigt Claes Holmström.
Åh, jag gillar det här och är övertygad om att Åsa kommer att göra det med.

At the palais de dance
I was shaking my hips off
At the palais de dance
Everything went out of control

Tango, mambo and swing
To the sound of the good old king
I got wasted on gin
At the palais de sin

I can tell you that the champagne was flat
The kitchen was haunted by rats
When the morning comes I take you out to the sea
Tell me baby, how will it be

A little add in the paper
I took a chance on the cheapest hotel resort
Fell in love with a village, a girl and the palais at the end of the road

There’s a place in the sun
I’ve made my time in the everyday life
There’s a place in the sun
And I’m a fox on the run

There’s a cross on my map
My bags are packed
I’m ready to go

There’s a cross on my map
God I’m tired of feeling this slack

The beauty of a shy village girl can make some crazy love of a flirt
So now I think of you,
I wonder are you still going there
To the palais when weekend appears

I wasn’t made for the city
I wasn’t made for the 21st century
Take me out to the country
I have to live where the people are smiling at me

I have to see if she wants me
I had the time of my life
But the city always drags you back
I had the time of my life
But now I’m feeling all flat

Take me out for a dance
At the palais de dance

Do you think of me now
have to know, do you think of me now
When the lights fading out
Am I the one on your mind?
