Noah Gundersen - Topless Dancer lyrics

If you lived in the shadow of the mountain Would you notice when the mountain was gone If you played in the sparkling fountain Would the drought seem twice as long If at night you slept with strangers in their houses And in the morning sang a traveling song Would you feel a little bit stronger when they were gone She sang to me the rhythm of autumn It was there that I found my space In the search for the perfect Madonna To bear the burden of amazing grace I found her as a topless dancer Making a mess of the place She took no questions and she gave no answers She just sang Hold tight Don't leave the light on for me Because I just might Cut myself loose and go free I hope you see the topless dancer in me I learned to ask the Lord for forgiveness Before I learned to forgive myself So I wore myself thin as a window And hung my trophies from a shelf When I woke up in the morning from a good good dream I felt the burden of unspeakable guilt I washed the milky white stain from my bed sheets And I prayed for help So to the priests and the prophets Who say our bodies are godless Oh tell me what the hell does that mean I hope you see I hope you see I hope you see the topless dancer in me
