Pere Ubu - The Waltz lyrics

[Verse 1] The bride swayed barefoot there on the sidewalk You could fry an egg Not a shade of a cloud, not a breath of a breeze Disturbed her dress or hair Round at her feet, burst by the dust A ghost rain dropped like tears [Chorus] We waltzed 'cross Texas We waltzed by the sea We waltzed through the tears And it seemed like a good idea It seemed like a good idea How it seemed like a good idea! [Verse 2] The bride swayed barefoot there by the sidewalk While the day stood still Not a shade of a cloud, Not a breath of a breeze Played on her face as she said "We can't go on like nothing is wrong Don't be that cruel to me." [Chorus] We waltzed 'cross Texas We waltzed by the sea We waltzed through the tears And it seemed like a good idea It seemed like a good idea Well, it seemed like a good idea! And it seemed like a good idea It seemed like a good idea Well, it seemed like a good idea! [Outro] The bride swayed barefoot there on the sidewalk You could fry an egg
