Description[edit | edit source]
- "Echoes of the dance halls in French occupied Saigon. Tension seeps underneath the parkay floors, where ladies wait as men peruse their potential partners from head to elegant toe. Music leads to money, money leads to lust, and in Saigon, lust can lead to anything..."
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Hey handsome have you got the time
I've been watching you since the moment you arrived
A white suit from London, and shoes from Paris
Don't'cha wanna spend about an hour with me
The scent an the aroma refuses to breathe
It's more like a haze that is trying to succeed
It's drawing me in and pulling me to you
And every thought I have turns the language blue
All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true
Don't know why you play hard to get
I'm here to kiss away any thoughts of regret
The silk tie from Siam shows elegance and class
Handsome as the heavens that a film would never cast
But underneath the mask I see the skin of a man
Smooth and seductive who's really got a plan
It's drawing me in, magnetically to you
You haven't got forever but I got that too
All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true
I'm like the smoke on your fire
Smoldering endless desire
How long will your flame burn
All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true
