Lyrics
Same Old 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.
Street girl sits in the coffee shop
Just waiting for the kids to stop
Their laughing at her hair and broken teeth
Her skirt is short and torn
Since the day that she was born
Into the family that is made of disbelief
She's standing on the corner
Just pretending not to fear the drunk
Suitor may or may not take her home
It's the same old dance
The same old fire
That makes it safe through the night
Just to feel that you are not alone
Not alone
She'd been up and down the shiny stairs
Shadows only seem to care
Corridors are made for tears
Seen them fall down through the years
We're up the garden to the door
I see the face that I once wore
Tell me time has made a fall
Things I leave behind
Leave behind
Leave behind
Leave behind
Leave behind
Street girl swears to the neon sign
That tells her how to pass the time
Of the fall and all the beauty that's on trial
She's waiting for the man
To put some fire in her hand
You can see the fallen sadness in her smile
She's trying to find a road to choose
Wipes the blood right from her shoe
She thinks about the time she left her home
Same old dance
Same old fire
That makes it safe through the night
Just to feel that you are not alone
Not alone
She'd been up and down the shiny stairs
Shadows only seem to care
Corridors are made for tears
Seen them fall down through the years
We're up the garden to the door
I see the face that I once wore
Tell me time has made a fall
Things I leave behind
Leave behind
Leave behind
Leave behind
Leave behind
