Once I dreamed I was dancing with isadora duncan
In a silver cafe
It was a cafe that was not at all near here
She was planning to diversify
And she sang I should do the same
So I whistled to her how I loved her the best
But she sang: I can't believe you own this attitude
But with some ballet moves
I removed her shoes
And I painted my lips to hers
And still she sang: I can't believe you own this attitude
She sang: I can't believe you own this, this attitude
She needed her beauty sleep
Though I didn't want it to sound like that
Her mind was occupied
Her hard coffee was cold by then as snow
And she sang: My smile is more than pearly white
And my dreams are more than you
She sang: My yellow eyes are more than mirrors
And my scarf is more, more, more than blue
And she sang: I can't believe you own this attitude
Yes I sang: I can't believe you own this, this attitude
She closed her new directions paperbook
And screamed: There is no shelter in the arts
She'd been crying all day
But now her eyes they were brighter than the Moon
And she sang: My smile is more than pearly white
And my dreams are more than you
She sang: My yellow eyes are more than mirrors
And my scarf is more, more, more, more than blue
And she sang: I can't believe you own this attitude
I can't believe it, I can't believe you own this attitude
I can't believe it, I can't believe you own this, this attitude
