Toulouse-Lautrec's Last Fantasy

There in the candlelight See the faces with their faded eyes Celebrating all they see She's dancing in a huge of red and green As you're dancing, anticipating, watching your life go by Filled with absinthe, lost in the past tense Knowing that you're left here to wander over time Bathed in the pale moonlight Across the distance, she turns and tries But they can't hear her silent screams Mesmerized by the sounds of their own extremes As you're dancing, anticipating, watching your life go by Filled with absinthe, lost in the past tense Knowing that you're left here to wander over time Trapped by this stage play In sight, there is no escape Maintained by only hopes and lies Wipe away the tears from your tired eyes As you're dancing, anticipating, watching your life go by Filled with absinthe, lost in the past tense Knowing that you're left here to wander over time To wander over time
