I was sipping on a whiskey when I got the call

Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital

She'd been pretty sick for about half a year

So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train

I found her laid up and in a lot of pain

Her eyes met mine and then I understood

That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good

So I sat and spun her stories for a little while

Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile

But she silenced all my ramblings with a shake of her head
但她摇了摇头，把我的胡言乱语都制住
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now

You'll live to dance another day

It's just now you'll have to dance for the two of us

So stop looking so damn depressed

Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food

And of doctors distant relatives draining her blood

So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel

In the centre of the city and to raise some hell

She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
