Sex And Dancing (Really, That's What It's About)

Never met one that could be likened to Penelope
Most had peculiar ideas of what constituted loyalty
Frustrated like a musician unable to find the note
That would make the song complete

Can't lay claim to being the best of catches
Played the role of the rake once or twenty
Though that was long, long ago

Life has a way of teaching everything eventually
Especially those protocols you may have missed
While dancing with strangers and hoping to be kissed
Never giving a thought to who you would one day be
Lessons learned seemed to always be gained through experience
Cats aren't the only creatures that pay for being curious

The doors are all locked and there is no skeleton key
To aide in the unlocking of the universal mystery
It's like taking a hobnail boot to the throat
When you're on the other end of deceit

Can't lay claim to being the best of catches
Played the role of the rake once or twenty
Though that was long, long ago

Life has a way of teaching everyone eventually
Especially those who didn't get the gist
While dancing with strangers and hoping to be kissed
Never giving a thought to who you would one day be
Lessons learned seemed to always be gained through experience
Cats aren't the only creatures that pay for being curious

Still the ride has been fun as it has been fruitful
Misadventure can be harrowing but it's rarely dull
Without regrets means without a single wild oat
Sown or cultivated and you end up with tasteless wheat

Can't lay claim to having been the best of matches
Played the role of a bogan in the land of plenty
Though that seems so long, long ago

Life has a way of reaching everybody eventually
Especially the ones who could never resist
While dancing with strangers and working on a list
Never giving a thought to who you would one day be
Lessons learned seemed to always be gained through experience
Cats aren't the only creatures that pay for being curious
