She stared into the bright lights so long it
Burnt a hole in her mind and branded her eyes
It imprinted upon her soul, mysteries of both young and old
And then she'd close her eyes tight to feel the darkness
She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced so fast, so fine
She danced around with her eyes shut
To see the stars in her mind
A spinning Jupiter, a spinning Mars
She herself was just a singing star
A breathing constellation
Cause she's a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart
For long lengths of time, she'd stay in her mind
And follow roads back, ancient tracks and primitive times
When giant birds lifted themselves of
Starry wings to burn white, fiery silhouettes into the night sky
She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced for them
And she followed all the lines back
To where they did begin
She saw her mother in pegas wings'
She felt her father in a scorpial sting
A genetic constellation
Cause she was a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart
She saw bursting flowers made of lucride stone
Shooting stars who songs sang to her bones
She saw stories her grandfather used to tell
His flesh was frozen was frozen and kept so well
And a clear meeting of words, but pictures to
Tell her what she knew she needed to hear
She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced so fast, so well
And she danced until her knees got weak
And all resistance fell
And all the walls, they came tumbling down
She stood eyes open, back on the ground
Wiser, full of glory
She was a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart
A child 5 years of age stared into the sun She stared into the bright lights so long it Burnt a hole in her mind and branded her eyes It imprinted upon her soul, mysteries of both young and old And then she'd close her eyes tight to feel the darkness She's a dancing girl, dancing girl She danced so fast, so fine She danced around with her eyes shut To see the stars in her mind A spinning Jupiter, a spinning Mars She herself was just a singing star A breathing constellation Cause she's a bright point of light Traveling through the skies of her mind Oh and how she knew the stars And the map of the human heart For long lengths of time, she'd stay in her mind And follow roads back, ancient tracks and primitive times When giant birds lifted themselves of Starry wings to burn white, fiery silhouettes into the night sky She's a dancing girl, dancing girl She danced for them And she followed all the lines back To where they did begin She saw her mother in pegas wings' She felt her father in a scorpial sting A genetic constellation Cause she was a bright point of light Traveling through the skies of her mind Oh and how she knew the stars And the map of the human heart She saw bursting flowers made of lucride stone Shooting stars who songs sang to her bones She saw stories her grandfather used to tell His flesh was frozen was frozen and kept so well And a clear meeting of words, but pictures to Tell her what she knew she needed to hear She's a dancing girl, dancing girl She danced so fast, so well And she danced until her knees got weak And all resistance fell And all the walls, they came tumbling down She stood eyes open, back on the ground Wiser, full of glory She was a bright point of light Traveling through the skies of her mind Oh and how she knew the stars And the map of the human heart Explain Request ×
