The last samba
The last samba is playing
"Don't waste me," it seems to be saying
"For soon this crescent moon will fade
Becoming only broken shell
And half remembered tunes"

So take me then
Here on this sand in the midst of these stars
Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars
Lost on the beach in this trance, mmm

They're playing the last samba
Shall we dance?

And half remembered tunes

So take me then
Here on this sand in the midst of these stars
Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars
Lost on the beach in this trance, mmm

They're playing the last samba
The last samba
The last samba
Shall we dance?
Hmm, shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
