Lyrics
To Be A Dancer (I'm Alive)
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.
It's all dead energies in this town.
It's all pedantry and pedigree in this town.
I needed an answer. I needed a song.
I want to be a dancer when the music comes on.
It's all stagnancy in this town.
It's all pageantry and monopoly in this town.
It's all hierarchy in this town.
It's all self-defeat, there's no poetry in this town.
I am alive.
I can call your fake (I needed an anthem)
and I can give your take (I needed a song)
and I am here and brave (I want to go dancing)
and you're going to want me someday (when the music comes on).
I am alive. Raise your flag, it's do or die now.
