Yet another in my series of tracks pursuing some angle of the Hall & Oates vibe. Once again, I feel like I'm managing to authentically capture some of the worst of the 80's ...
lyrics
It’s been a season for the losers to shine
Every gambler gets a go oh oh oh
Not all that’s neon should be seen as a sign
Don’t you know? Oh oh oh
Saw you dancing on the edge of the world
Staring straight up at the sun oh oh oh
Stretched your arms, tilt your head, start to twirl
Just when the spin becomes the spun
And if you’re still so afraid to dance
When they’re playing your favorite song
I’ll be asking you in advance
What could keep you from going wrong
You’ve been running all round
playing games of chance
Waiting for the sun to set
so you can take your chances
Go on place your bet
This is as good as good’s gonna get
Watched the sky searched the stars for a sign
Did you blink when I spoke oh oh oh
mystified where should I draw the line
Can’t see flames for the smoke oh oh oh
Was I watching from the angle you chose
I only see what you want me to know
Should I feed on the crumbs that she throws
I don’t know oh oh oh
And if you’re still so afraid to dance
When they’re playing your favorite song
I’ll be asking you in advance
What could keep you from going wrong
You’ve been running all round
playing games of chance
Waiting for the sun to set
so you can take your chances
Go on place your bet
This is as good as good’s gonna get
