Dead Oceans - Dan the Dancer lyrics

Dan had very long limbs From leading day to day Hanging onto a cliff That stretched him everyday And when she'd ask to hold hands He would smile and Let one of his hands go His whole life in one hand His whole life And when he'd say goodnight and Leave her doorstep He'd use his last strength To wave back And once back in his room Once back in his room He'd return his waving hand Back to its cliff He liked her more than life itself I'm sure Cause Dan had never danced outside of his room When no one was home and he would stop to hear the door So when he moved with you And felt his body let go Of course you couldn't know It was you and you alone That he had shown his bedroom dancer to Shown his bedroom dancer to Shown his bedroom dancer to Shown his bedroom dancer to Shown his bedroom dancer to Shown his bedroom dancer to And he would never tell you that it was his first time
