Idiot Waltz Lyrics - The Gun Club

That line don't make it here no more 

Nothing reanimates the old times 

Black clouds to the west 

Darkness coming from the East Side 

Get your friends out of the car 

We got a date in the trees tonight 

Take off your clothes, you ain't going far 

You're going to give me fun tonight 

Turn on the headlights for the idiot waltz 

Turn on the lights, watch us fall 

Your body don't get me off no more 

It takes a lot of smack to do that 

We never made love in the trees 

Or took you down on your mat 

Now, winds of change are blowing out the fire 

I feel your breath on my neck 

I hear the darkness and wires 

Turn on the headlights for the idiot waltz 

Turn on the lights, watch us fall 

It was foolish to be alive 

It was foolish in a foolish time 

Turn on the headlights for the idiot waltz 

Turn on the lights, watch us fall
