Over The Rhine Lyrics
"Hush Now (Stella's Tarantella)"

Hush now my sweet little noisy boy

There is trouble enough in the world

Pick up your feet, little lazy boy

Come dance with your little girl

Spin me 'round this kitchen floor

Like a carnival through a door

I know we're only two-bit clowns

In a one-ring circus

But make me a little bit dizzy boy

Swing me on your trapeze

When I'm in the arms of my dreamy boy

It still makes me weak in the knees

Right here on this record player

Is our scratchy song, we're alone

Slide trombones like an orchestra

Full of fortune tellers

Come now my sweet little breathing boy

I'm listening hard to your heart

It's as strong as a lion's boy

Let's live here and make a new start

I remember once you said

"Lying in this bed the past is dead"

Everyday is a one-act play

Without an ending, without an ending
