i hold out my hand
as the music starts to play
hoping you will grab it
and dance with me

looks like i'm alone
as we dance in the spotlight
moving like your stringed
dancing a slow dance

(chorus)
i'm dancing alone
dancing with a puppet hanging on a string
cause thats how alone i feel
dancing to no avail
with no one else but me

i'm going out of my mind
to think you'll dance with me
with a smile that stops you
and takes your breath away

this type of science
a social science
is one i've never gotten used to
one i can't control

(chorus)
i'm dancing alone
dancing with a puppet hanging on a string
cause thats how alone i feel
dancing to no avail
with no one else but me

dancing with a puppet
dancing with a doll
dancing with no one really at all

(chorus)
i'm dancing alone
dancing with a puppet hanging on a string
cause thats how alone i feel
dancing to no avail
with no one else but me

it feels like forever
waiting to see
if you will take my hand
and dance with me

(chorus)
i'm dancing alone
dancing with a puppet hanging on a string
cause thats how alone i feel
dancing to no avail
with no one else but me

i hold out my hand
as the music starts to play
hoping you will grab it
and dance with me
