Reaching Out

You talked me into the game of chance,
It was '39 before the music started
When you walked up to me and you said
"Hey, heads we dance,"
WelI, I didn't know who you were
Until I saw the morning paper.

There was a picture of you
A picture of you 'cross the front page
It looked just like you, just like you in every way,
But it couldn't be true,
It couldn't be true
You stepped out of a stranger.

They say that the Devil is a charming man
And just like you I bet he can dance
And he's coming up behind in his long
Tailed black coat dance
All tails in the air
But the penny landed with it's head dancing

A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor
But it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you,
It's a picture of Hitler.

He go do do do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
Do you want to dance?
Well I couldn`t see what was to be
So I just stood there laughing.

A picture of you. a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor
But it couldn't be you.
It couldn't be you
It's a picture of Hitler.
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Heads we're dancing.
