Benny Andersson - Mountain Duet lyrics

[FLORENCE] This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid Nothing I say will convince him it isn't a trick [THE RUSSIAN] A drink on a clear moonlit night I relax, she smiles There's something unpleasant going on [FLORENCE] So with immaculate timing, I'm left to carry the can Embarra**ed, outnumbered, marooned [THE RUSSIAN] Now she can't be working for them I mean us She seems so very straightforward But where is he? [FLORENCE] He has to come back He wanted this meeting Well didn't he? [THE RUSSIAN] Maybe he's scared Just as scared as he was in the game [FLORENCE] Oh, I just couldn't care less He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career I know I've done my best [THE RUSSIAN] Well, at least she's a good-looking spy [FLORENCE] What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans Are more of an intimate kind? If I don't say something and soon He'll go Nobody's on nobody's side [THE RUSSIAN] Listen, I hate to break up the mood Get to the point, begin the begin Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short In this idyllic, well-produced scene? [FLORENCE] All I can say is moments ago He was right here, ready and waiting [THE RUSSIAN] Never mind him I haven't missed him so far [FLORENCE/THE RUSSIAN] Maybe it won't do any harm To struggle on without his charm? Funny how all at once I feel That he can go jump off the mountain, I won't care [FLORENCE] This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid [THE RUSSIAN] My dear opponent I really can't imagine why [FLORENCE] So I am not dangerous then? What a shame [THE RUSSIAN] Oh, you're not dangerous Who could think that of you? [FLORENCE/THE RUSSIAN] You, you are so strange Why can't you be what you ought to be? You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half [THE RUSSIAN] I have to hand it to you For you've managed to make me forget why I ever agreed to this farce [FLORENCE/THE RUSSIAN] I don't know why I can't think of anything I would rather do Than be wasting my time On mountains with you
