Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared ‘neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye
And now I’m glad I didn’t know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I’d have had to miss the dance
Holding you, I held everything For a moment wasn’t I the king If I’d only known how the king would fall Hey, who’s to say, you know I might have changed it all
And now I’m glad I didn’t know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I’d have had to miss the dance
If our lives are better left to chance Oh, our lives are better left to chance Oh, our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain But I’d have had to miss the dance
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging Onto the banks of an urban morning That hungers the first light, much much more Than mountains ever do. And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin And emerges unlearned, unscathed, unharmed. For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature And I am the geek with the alchemists stone. For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally One bright blue rose outlives all those Two thousand years and still it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally
I still watch you when you’re groovin’ As if through water from the bottom of a pool You’re movin’ without movin’ And when you move, I’m moved You are a call to motion There, all of you a verb in perfect view Like Jonah on the ocean When you move, I’m moved
When you move I’m put to mind of all that I wanna be When you move I could never define all that you are to me
So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby
You are the rite of movement Its reasonin’ made lucid and cool I know it’s no improvement When you move, I move You’re less Polunin leapin’ Or Fred Astaire in sequins Honey, you, you’re Atlas in his sleepin’ And when you move, I’m moved
When you move I can recall somethin’ that’s gone from me When you move Honey, I’m put in awe of somethin’ so flawed and free
So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby So move me, baby Like you’ve nothin’ left to prove And nothin’ to lose Move me, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh baby, oh baby Move like grey skies Move like a bird of paradise Move like an odd sight come out at night
Move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby So move me, baby Like you’ve nothin’ left to lose And nothin’ to prove Move me, baby So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby
these are the reasons I drink the reasons I tell everybody I’m fine even though I am not these are the reasons I overdo it I have been working since I can remember since I was single digits And now even though I’ve been busted I don’t where to draw the line ‘cause the groove has gotten so deep And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do Here we are i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh one more hit it feels so helpful in my need for respite ohhhh Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh And here are the reasons I eat Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I’m not medicated So that’s it I am buying a lamborghini to make up for these habits to survive this sick industry And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do Here we are i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh one more sip It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh these are the reasons I don’t even think I would quit These are the reasons I can’t even see straight And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects and I am left wondering how I would I function without it Here we are i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh one more rip I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
