[Spoken - cowboy]
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was oh
I was dancing when I was ah
I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
Is it strange to dance so soon
Ah ah ah
Is it wrong to understand
Is it so wrong to understand
What's it like to be a loon
I liken it to a balloon
Ah ah ah
I was dancing when I was twelve
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it so strange to dance so soon
Oh is it so strange to dance so soon
Then I can once more
Ah ah ah [Spoken - Jon Brion]
