From Ragtime To Rags lyrics
A cheap one
To take you from here to heaven
Do you believe that that will do for you?
A quick one
To unwind the slow turning hours
Do you believe that that s what you deserve?

You touch my arm with your hand
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor
And I pull away while trying to stay by your side

And I m tumbling, tumbling
Out of the open arms of sin
Tumbling, tumbling
From ragtime to rags again

Listen
I m thinking words I m not saying
This is not the time to betray my desire for you

I m sorry
I led you into my indecision
I was hoping that you could wash my confusion away

You touch my arm with your hand
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor
And I pull away while trying to stay by your side

And I m tumbling, tumbling
Out of the open arms of sin
Tumbling, tumbling
From ragtime to rags again

Parting
Torn from your side with a whisper
We stare at the clock aware that it s too late

Trust me
Someday we will be lovers
But somehow I wish that I d shared a cheap one with you

And I m tumbling, tumbling
Out of the open arms of sin
Tumbling, tumbling
From ragtime to rags again
