Take the Lead

Tell me something I wanna hear Tell me something, oh it's been such a year Show me something I want to see Show me something Oh, baby, please A momentary silence came "What's your sign? What's your name? Can you read it in the stars tonight? Or has it been washed out by blaring city lights?" Give me vigour, give me speed In breeding mediocrity Better times there never were Though not that I could say for sure Technicolor ballet school "Girls her age can be so cruel" Give me vigour, give me speed Can someone else please take the lead? Show me who I used to be Can't recall, that person's lost on me Tell me I am better now Missed the why, can't find the how In alleyways and parking lots Those places found in getting lost On snowy days in coffee shops A lonely mind can think such dreadful thoughts Give me vigour, give me speed In breeding mediocrity Better times there never were Though not that I could say for sure Technicolor ballet school "Girls her age can be so cruel" Give me vigour, give me speed Can someone else please take the lead? Give me vigour, give me speed
