Simon Walker - Dance with me at midnight

Dance with me at midnight
You'll find me at the bar
My acrobat, my artist
My friend, my avatar

The mighty Quyen gives Sparkles gin
While Frankie takes a shot
Farida's smile is pure style
Oh Albie - not again!

Dave tells us jokes, Sir nods and smokes
Stephen downs a Vic
Stella's sweet, John cooks a treat
The clock begins to tick

I turn around and Ella
Makes me laugh, then cry
Then Thea adds a touch of class
Walk on by, walk on by

Nicki and Rebekah
Twin ballerinas dance
The guys are going crazy
They haven't got a chance

Mickie flew from Rotterdam
A tourist maybe not
She tells me what I need to hear
It's really not a lot

Liliana takes a holiday
From south american heat
She tells me no more shots please
Then dances cheek to cheek

Vodka dreams of impossible things
I can believe with practice
Nothing's ever as it seems
There goes another actress

Paige told me love the one you're with
I wish that could be true
I don't believe in second best
And maybe same with you

Marina come to Melbourne
I'll be your number three
We'll dine by the river
That's how it should be

I shake my fist at Saturn
I'll never yield to you
Still looking for my crossroads
My Cactus Tree Motel, My Kind of Blue

The ticking crocodile's chasing me
This joint's about to close
Take this as it finds you
And so, and so it goes

Simon Walker
