Procol Harum - Perpetual Motion

Rings around the crescent moon Passions rise from basement rooms Fountains play and worlds collide We gently swing and sway from side to side Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ship's out on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore Star-crossed lovers, they spoon and swim The laughing gods, for they just reel them in Hostages, they're tempting fame See them wait down on the line to take the bait Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ship's out on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore The simple stuff we build our dreams upon Waxing, waning, now it's almost gone Passion plays the sweetest tune These velvet days are gone far too soon Dancers, dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ship's out on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore We spend our nights on silken sheets We play for gold but not for keeps Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ship's out on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore Sailin' t'ward a distant shore Eh, t'ward a distant shore
