2.- Lyrics
We had broken up for good
just an hour before
Now I'm staring at the bodies
as there's dancin' cross the floor
And then the band slowed the tempo
and the music gets me down
It was the same old song
with the melancholy sound
(Chorus)
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
We'd been living together
for a million years
But now I feel so strange
(out of the atmospheres)
And then the jukebox plays
a song I used to know
Now I'm staring at the bodies
as they dancin' so slow
(Chorus) (x1)
Now I wind up
staring at an empty glass
Cause it's so easy to say
that you'll forget your past
(Chorus) (x2)
