Dancing Through Shadows: Tuxedomoon's Tale of Global Connections
Lyrics
So he's learned to hold his cigarette and his drink in one hand
Adapting to multitasking, holding both a cigarette and a drink, reflecting on the passage of time.
But he wonders if he's getting old
Contemplating the possibility of aging and its implications.
Everyone comes off so silly
Observing others behaving in a foolish or trivial manner.
But he doesn't forget the moon outside
Despite the superficiality around, remembering the natural beauty of the moon outside.
And the stars up above
Acknowledging the celestial presence of stars above.
