Waltzing with Charlie (MacPumpkin cover)

from Houses of the Trolly (2019) by Blake Starkey

/

lyrics

Waltzing with Charley, dancing with Charles
A slender white figure moves down distant halls
Can you keep up with Charles? Can you dance with the dead?
He may not be living, but don't be misled
His twirling and whirling is not to be matched
His secret's kept well, locked up and latched
Charley's a gentleman, sweet as can be
You'll see us two dancing, Charley and me
What a night that it will be
What a night for Charley and me
It's a shame no one will see
For they'll all think I'm crazy
That it's all in my head
For it's plain as can be-Charley is dead
Waltzing with Charley, dancing with Charles
In a laboratory, in clinical walls
Would you like to see Charles-watch him dance through the night
In a medical room in dim fluorescent lights
Past the books, and the text, and the charts, and the clock?
It should be no surprise-it should come as no shock
Charley's a scholar, and graceful is he
You'll see us two dancing, Charley and me
What a night that it will be
What a night for Charley and me
It's a shame no one will see
For they'll all think I'm crazy
That it's all in my head
For it's plain as can be-Charley is dead
