Dance Songtext
von Astrid Williamson

The river rose above my bedroom window
Soaked into the carpets and on the walls
Left patterns of exquisite unimagined beauty
And in the twisting stains I trace the features
A face inside a frame whispers and beseeches
A river in my vein coursing through me
Echoing my name calls to me

It goes

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance with me?

But the river is a shame as it pulls you down
Yeah it keeps you in the cave for the fear you′ll drown
But you know you're not to blame
′Cause it is in your instinct to be happy
Your DNA and blueprint, your every impulse
Euphorically captive to an impulse

It goes


Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance with me?

And Shiva's in the pool and the stream is torn
Where's the shadow of the wave come from David′s horn?
But you′re a clever king
And Solomon's songs are full of mystery
You open my window every time you kiss me

It goes

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance with me?

But the river is a shimmer of fallen gold
Blonde sunshine like tears on a mirrored moon
I′ve been held like this for years
But when I was a child I would love to sink to
Anything wild I could capture the sting to
So I guess I never really did stand a chance
'Cause I never much liked to walk
I like to dance
