[Intro]
Waltz around the room, room, room, room, room

[Hook]
Waltz around the room with a glaze in your stare
In your tuxedo suit, I'll give it a name, lower defenses
Lower the casket, open the door
Open the grave, murder, murder, murder
Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Waltz around the room with a glaze in your stare
In your tuxedo suit, I'll give it a name, lower defenses
Lower the casket, open the door
Open the grave

[Verse]
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
He laid emeralds in her eyes
Oh, but I'd already tried
A bracelet made of gold
And scarlet thread around her wrist
And everything was wrong
So we sang sentimental songs
Oh, how seldom we belong
But how elegant our kiss
And we painted crooked lines
But we danced in perfect time
To a love so much refined
We know not what it is
So like the dullen wine
We pour into a grief we'd known before
But never quite like this
Never quite like this
All I know now is regret
She follows like a silhouette
On the cobblestone behind me
She has nothing left to say
Except to innocently ask
Her voice delicate as glass
"Do you see me when we pass?"
But I
I continue on my way
