Faded Hue of Pale
We twirled in a wild Spanish dance,
spinning in circles on the floor,
I was becoming white and ill.
And all the people yelled for more,
as the place was clapping loudly,
and my mind was blown away.
I really wanted more booze,
and it came with no delay.
And a long time after,
the bartender told a tale;
that the dancers were phantasmal,
and were a faded hue of pale.
He spoke, "It has no sense,
facts obvious to spot !"
So, I roamed among that wild wanton crowd.
And I wished to embrace one, yes
one of the vulgar, lustful men;
but his hand was dead like a rock.
And with perception wavering,
I could have been in a bad dream.
And a long time after,
the bartender told a tale;
that the dancers were phantasmal,
and were a faded hue of pale.
And a long time after,
the bartender told a tale;
that the dancers were phantasmal,
and were a faded hue of pale.
Or, maybe seemed a faded hue of pale,
in the dimness, yeah, a faded hue of pale.
