That line don't make it here no more

nothing reanimates the old times

black clouds to the west

darkness coming from the East Side



Get your friends out of the car!

we got a date in the trees tonight

take off your clothes, you ain't going far

you're going to give me fun tonight



Turn on the headlights

for the Idiot Waltz

turn on the lights

watch us fall



Your body don't get me off no more

it takes a lot of smack to do that

we never made love in the trees

or took you down on your mat



Now, winds of change

are blowing out the fire

I feel your breath on my neck

I hear the darkness and wires



Turn on the headlights

for the Idiot Waltz

turn on the lights

watch us fall



It was foolish to be alive

It was foolish in a foolish time



Turn on the headlights

for the Idiot Waltz

turn on the lights

watch us fall
