it was familiar to me   the smoke too thick to breathe   the tile floors glistened   i slowly stirred my drink   and when you started to sing   you spoke with broken speech   that i could not understand   and then you grabbed me tightly      i wont let go   i wont let go   even if you say so   oh no   i've tried and tried with no results   i wont let go   i wont let go      he then played every song from 1993   the crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully   your eyelashes tickle my neck   with every nervous blink   and it was perfect   until the telephone started   ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off   ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off   ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off   ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off   ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off   ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off
