An Innocent Fiction

Midnight confessions
Of deputy prussians
Colored my time in the rhine
Where a misplaced directive
From a dirty connector
I got out just in time
Fleet of foot messengers
Tapped me in Bucharest
And paid for a train to Berlin
Where a night club at midnight
Was cleared out too quickly
I made my face in the wings
The palace ain't nothing
Compared to this majesty
Here I am dancin' for
The president of Germany
I opened up with a
Rag and a one-step and
Finished the bit with a frieze
Then a touch of the shuffle and
I closed with a softshoe
I hit 'em with my best routine
The palace ain't nothing
Compared to this majesty
Here I am dancin' for
The president of Germany
The orpheum never saw a
Bigger hit in 2 A Day
The national can't beat
This state
[Oooooh, oooooh]
[Don't fade out, you're my only hope
And it's running out]
The spotlight it shone on
Heavy artillery
The silence was worse than the shot
I'm just a dancer
An innocent fiction
More like a dream than not
Applause cascading from
One set of fingertips
You believe what you believe
Midnight confessions
Of deputy prussians
I got out just in time
