Take a piece of me, rip a leaf from me
Before you lie down, before you lie down
Take a piece of me, rip a leaf from me
Before you lie down, before you lie
And send in the way she walks, and makes her mark
For you to stand upon, or step upon
And bring out the voice to shake
And eloquently rid you of the noise you make
The noise you make, you can
Take a piece of me, rip a leaf from me
Before you lie down, before you lie down
Take a piece of me, rip a leaf from me
Before you lie down, before you lie
Bring out the dancer
There's always someone else
Bring out the dancer
Through all this noise and fuss
Bring out the dancer
Bring out the dancer
When the tempo rises and the ceiling falls
And echoes of elsewhere sound and close in the walls
Just rise with the rapture
And rest with the anchor
Seek the performer
Call on the actor
Bring out the dancer
There's always someone else
Bring out the dancer
To get back to yourself
Bring out the dancer
Through all this noise and fuss
Bring out the dancer
Bring out the dancer
Take a piece of me, rip a leaf from me
Before you lie down, before you lie down
Take a piece of me, rip a leaf from me
Before you lie down, before you lie
Bring out the dancer
There's always someone else
Bring out the dancer
To get back to yourself
Bring out the dancer
Through all this noise and fuss
Bring out the dancer
Bring out the dancer
