I guess the song is really about the dance we all dance in order to find our one, true love. You know the old saying: "You have to kiss a lot of frogs in order to find your prince." Think of it as my attempt at a modern-day version of the story of the spheres from the Dialogs of Plato. (The story goes that as we await to be born, we are not one single indvidual. We are instead a sphere made up of two parts. The parts are sometimes female/male, sometimes female/female, and yet other times male/male. As we are about to be born, the spheres are split apart and placed into beings and some hang out and wait for beings to be placed into. Then, we spend our lives trying to find and rejoin with our other half, our perfect complement, the one person who'll make us complete.) Listen to the partial mp3 on the sounds page.

At your grandma's knee the fairy tales had their say
Nowhere is it written what happens the next day
What had seemed such bliss and ended with a kiss
Ends up with you saying what the hell is this?
The never-ending quest goes on and on

It's only sound in motion
It's not a sound emotion
It's just self-promotion
Gonna cause quite a commotion
I'm holding out for a man who can
Give me Sound Emotion

The skirt is cute the make-up just right
You put the modern-day armor on to find your knight
These rules of love and sometimes war
Thrill you chill you keep you keepin'score
What is this crucial vital quest you're on?

Chorus

He promises moon and stars he hops from bar to bar
Hair at a rakish angle, he whispers it takes two to tango

Chorus
