I am dancing in the gutter I am trying not to pray take me as you find me but take me anyway Take me to the Mardi Gras take me to the hop take me to the cleaners but do not let me drop Circles round the village lines across the town shadows in the city won't you take me down …? Underneath the arches or up against the wall will we meet tomorrow? will we meet at all? Will we meet in heaven or the middle of the air? meet me in St Louis o meet me anywhere I am dancing in the spotlight the light is like a knife dancing in the mirror I am dancing for my life At the stroke of midnight when the music stops tell me what your name is but do not let me drop
