Born to Act Belle and Sebastian

There is a girl on the floor, she dances way out
She’s a snub nose beauty, she’s a, a no doubt
But if I talk to her, I even look hard
She’ll be out of this place and she’ll be out of my life

We busted a move, we got the hell out
We got stories to tell, we got our whole life
We drink coffee till late because we jet lagged
We put a fortune into the greatest music machine in the land

Play a wonderful song to me and it’s better than a date
Play the tune where the girl sings high, she’s my lover surrogate
And the waitress is rolling by, shining high, smiling for a tip
Every boy dreams of it

So the girl dances in, she takes the next booth
I break the rule of my life, I make a, a big move
'Cause my accent is funny, got a, a head start
If you wanna make good, you got to use what you got

We go with her friends and there’s a, a big crowd
There’s a girl who can’t stand up till she falls down
There’s a pressure that’s building and it’s too late
'Cause she leaves in the morning, there’s a flight, it’s a family affair

Play a wonderful song to me and it’s better than a date
Play the tune where the girl sings high, she’s my lover surrogate
And the waitresses rolling by, shining high, smiling for a tip
Every boy dreams of it
