Lyrics

The Big Girl Dance

Down by the sea-stained docks
Of San Remora
Inside the tiny bar
Behind the street of flowers
The service is come what may
The clientele spends the day
Watching the girl smolder and swirl
'Cross the floor

It's not mere idle chat
That she is offering
No empty words of love
That she will share with you
It's time that you took a chance
Just watch the big girl dance
You'll know the score
Less is not more anymore
Anymore

Then in the morning
You'll wake by yourself...
Rise by yourself...
Shave by yourself...
Eat by yourself...
Be by yourself...

No need for you to fear
The gift she offers
She'll fix you with her stare
And then envelope you
Don't be a timid man
Just give the girl your hand
Take to the floor
Less is not more anymore
Anymore

Then in the morning
You'll wake by yourself...
Rise by yourself...
Shave by yourself...
Eat by yourself...
Be by yourself again

No need for you to fear
The gift she offers
She'll fix you with her stare
As she envelopes you
Just give the girl your hand
Then take it like a man
There on the floor
Less is not more anymore
Anymore
