Hush Now (stella's Tarantella) Lyrics - Over The Rhine

Hush now my sweet little noisy boy 

There is trouble enough in the world 

Pick up your feet, little lazy boy 

Come dance with your little girl 

Spin me 'round this kitchen floor 

Like a carnival through a door 

I know we're only two-bit clowns 

In a one-ring circus 

But make me a little bit dizzy boy 

Swing me on your trapeze 

When I'm in the arms of my dreamy boy 

It still makes me weak in the knees 

Right here on this record player 

Is our scratchy song, we're alone 

Slide trombones like an orchestra 

Full of fortune tellers 

Come now my sweet little breathing boy 

I'm listening hard to your heart 

It's as strong as a lion's boy 

Let's live here and make a new start 

I remember once you said 

"Lying in this bed the past is dead" 

Everyday is a one-act play 

Without an ending, without an ending
