Parralox - The Dancer

The Dancer

Written by Björn Håkansson & Tim Arnold Norell.

Verse 1
It was a simple story of provocation
No claim of fame no glory
Just aggravation

Pre Chorus 1
That might be an answer fading away
Running like a shadow wanting to stay
Oh-oh
It was a simple story

Chorus
Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
It's hard to face the music
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door

Burning hot and learning
Like a frozen picture frame
No one else can help me stop the pain

Verse 2
There's not a hint of Kristy, no investigation
At times my mind goes misty, to much sedation

Pre Chorus 2
All that midnight phantoms sharing my bed
Mmm, Mixing up the reasons inside my head
Oh-oh
It was a simple story

Chorus 2
Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
It's hard to face the music
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door

Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
It's hard to face the music
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door

No one else can help me stop the pain

Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
It's hard to face the music
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door

Burning hot and learning
Like a frozen picture frame
No one else can help me stop the pain

Additional Information:
Secret Service is one of Sweden's internationally most succesful groups.
In 1979 they made an instant impact with the debut single "Oh Susie" and with "Flash In The Night" in 1981 they conquered the European dancefloors.
"Night City", "Let Us Dance Just A Little Bit More" and "I'm So, I'm So, I'm So" are a couple of the additionaly most well-known songs by the band.
For this tribute we've also added a cover of "The Way You Are", originally released as a duet with Secret Service-singer Ola Håkansson and Agnetha Fältskog of ABBA - and a cover of the quite unknown original version of "Oh Susie", in Swedish!
