Castanets - Dance, Dance lyrics

So she says come in from the rain and, well, hell I came in from the rain It was cold, she had room Hell, I suppose I'm not averse to being tamed But things go how they go and Come the snow I was starving in my sleep With every road away closed and a fridge full of sh** that didn't keep We stayed in, dodged our friends, did some Drugs and our best to disappear In self-loathe and in lust and giving In to the easiest fears Still the worry piled up, and I said, "Sister We won't ever be free" And I really made a mess of that scene after it made a mess of me Then when the days all got shorter, I said "It's hard to even say now who I am" I hadn't told the truth in months, no, I'd been Lying even to my lamb And she said "stay tough," but, sister, it's Hard, and I'm feeling down 'Cause I got d**h in my meat And I'm tired of dragging it around So then owing less trait to any woman Or man than a beast I packed up what was left of my sh** in one bag to head east Towards a love so bitter, so taxing, so sad it was alarming And then even the good neighbor's kids, they seemed more vicious than charming So I sat at your window like some sad old pit bull co*ked my ears and barked at the door at any, every old sound I did hear And stayed up long into the nights pacing And wishing that I had been strong 'Cause I listened to my friends about this one, and on this one they were wrong So f** it, no more a mole in the ground or a bear in the winter Let it be broken gla** and bones Let it be scratches and stitches and splinters All right, tides going out, coming in and then leaving again The moon chasing the sun after the Moon and then it's dusk on your skin And it's a long and difficult dance, but I think that maybe it's still good Even though we all dance sometimes to a song that we don't love like we should Yeah, even though we all have to dance sometimes to a song that we don't love like we should
