Lyrics
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was...
I was dancing when I was...
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?
Is it too wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon
I'll dance myself into the tomb
I'll dance myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
Is it strange to dance so soon?
Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon
