We Dance Alone

Beck · The Information [2006]

send a telegram tell me your thoughts

I wanna live for a day in the way that we lost

but unfortunately the twain got crissed not crossed

locked our keys in the car so our legs had to walked

on a desert terrain we were wayward and plain

waiting for rain in a decade afraid

of what pain might do to the pleasure we knew

before we had to move on I did my best for you



darker

we dance alone this way

its getting darker

we dance alone this way



I waited for a fire to come out of the ground

I tried to get back on the world as it was turning around

splinters and pieces from a life that crashed

watching every minute of the wreckage go past

cos motions wearing down all my thoughts

till they're all smoothed out like rocks we tossed

duck and drakes over water we go

where we see there's only memories drowning below



darker

we dance alone this way

its getting darker

we dance alone this way



on a gravel train we were waiting for hope

I was a light fading out like a stray on a rope

I let the scenery pass like a blown out TV

thought I saw a ghost but it might have been me

might have been world that was moving too fast

caught up in a future that was drunk on the past

looking for a place where the nights unravel

a last ditch road trespassers travel on



darker

we dance alone this way

its getting darker

we dance alone this way
