Tongue Dancer

Two tongues dance around the stage
Both with the same master
Yet each will fail to please tonight
The music’s getting faster

The song is full of contradictions
And the seats are full of critics
Better hide your seams tonight
‘Lest they grow suspicious

Each tongue dancing out of step
If only they had ears to listen
Master lost his cool tonight
Such a shame we’ll miss him
