Artist/Band: Ferrante And Teicher
Lyrics for Song: Last Tango In Paris
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ferrante And Teicher



We don't exist


We are nothing but shadow and mist


In the mirror we look as we pass


No reflection's revealed in the glass


Don't you know that the blood in your vein is as lifeless

as yesterday's rain?


It's a game where we come to conceal the confusion we feel


But as long as we're nameless our bodies are blameless


You cried when we kissedIt was nothing but shadow and mist


Two illusions who touch in a trancemaking love not by choice but by chance


To a theme that we tore from the past to a tango we swore was the last


We are shadows who dance


We don't exist


We are nothing but shadow and mist


In the mirror we look as we pass


No reflection's revealed in the glass


Don't you know that the blood in your veinis as lifeless

as yesterday's rain?


It's a game where we come to conceal the confusion we feel


But as long as we're nameless our bodies are blameless


You cried when we kissedIt was nothing but shadow and mist


Two illusions who touch in a trancemaking love not

by choice but by chance


To a theme that we tore from the past to a tango we swore was the last


We are shadows who dance


We are shadows who dance


Last Tango In Paris

Ferrante and Teicher's 1968 recording of 'Last Tango In Paris' stands as a definitive example of the cool jazz and ballad styles they popularized in the late 1960s. The track features a smooth, upright bass-driven arrangement that complements the song's romantic and melancholic themes. While the composition is a standard jazz tune, the band's interpretation brought a distinctive sophistication to the genre, reflecting the era's shift toward more intimate and acoustic-oriented recordings. Their work during this period helped establish them as a leading force in the English-language jazz scene, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to blend traditional jazz harmony with a contemporary, understated aesthetic.
