BECK
"We Dance Alone"

Send a telegram
Tell me your thoughts
I wanna live for a day
In the way that we lost

But unfortunately the twain
Got crissed not crossed
Left the keys in the car
So the legs have to walked

On a desert terrain
We were wayward and plain
Waiting for rain
In a decade afraid

Of what pain might do
To the pleasure we knew
Before we had to move on
I did my best for you

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Darker
We dance alone this way
It's getting darker
We dance alone this way

I waited for a fire
To come out of the ground
I tried to get back on the world
As it was turning around

Splinters and pieces
From a life that crashed
Watching every minute
Of the wreckage go past

'Cause motions wearing down
All my thoughts
Till they're all smoothed out
Like rocks we tossed

Ducks and drakes over
Water we go
Where we see there's only memories
Drowning below

Darker
We dance alone this way
It's getting darker
We dance alone this way

On a gravel train
We were waiting for hope
I was a light fading out
Like a stray on a rope

I let the scenery pass
Like a blown-out TV
Thought I saw a ghost
But it might have been me

Might have been the world
That was moving too fast
Caught up in the future
That was drunk on the past

Now, looking for a place
Where the nights unravel
Last ditch road
Trespassers travel on

Darker
We dance alone this way
It's getting darker
We dance alone this way

We dance alone this way
