Joseph Arthur - Big City Secret lyrics

You bounce against my rectangular light I fall asleep inside your spherical night And dream about coming together again As a fist comes from an open hand And how the tide crashes on morning sand And you say Hey i don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance A fist thrown against fear's menacing face His blackened eyes become the dreams that you chase Blood on your lip is like chaos you taste It washes over you in some dramatic rush And on the diving board you can feel him push So you say Hey i don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance How come we dance What makes us dance I jump in the magnitude of your smile Leap from the board of my last chance Splash in the sea of your damnation As you remind me of your past Darling i thank you for this dance You say Hey i don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance How come we dance How come we dance How come we dance How come we dance
