Don't Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here comes the evil man
Pray for their lives
You'll end
Don't dance (4x)
You can't win
Here comes the evil man
Pray for their lives
You'll end
Smashing he throws
Like I'm losing
With my wings in orbit
Try my best to make
The moment awesome
If you remember
Not to tread with caution
I'll make your body speak
In full distortion
I can't sleep at night
I fear death's warning
I keep afloat
By holding tide
So cautious
Somebody dragged me here
I'm trapped
With wild horses
And now I'm losing
And my heart is nauseous
Don't dance (12x)
You can't win
Where there's freedom
There's freedom
Is this freedom?
Don't dance (4x)
Where there's freedom
There's freedom
Is this freedom?
Don't dance (4x)
Where there's freedom
There's freedom
Is this freedom?
Don't dance (4x)
Where there's freedom
There's freedom
Is this freedom?
Papa's left, papa's left
Papa's gone away from here
What is left in it's place?
Only our aching feet
You can see, you can see
Is there an exit here?
I believe, I believe
We're gonna leave this
Don't dance (16x)
You can't dance
