Lyrics:
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Rubies glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting a ling a ling ing
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just like a tear drop
Running from her head

Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake her body fascinates me
I can't look away now

Stop stop stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop stop stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer closer she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into her spotlight
She stands lost for speech.

Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle. knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street
