lyrics

Wish
And you will receive
Through clenched teeth she led us to believe

To our dismay
She knew our place
Our complex host
Of old mistakes
Our withered grasp on all she could find

But we kept falling for her tricks
Those sticks and stones
Made nights end quick
Her bounded feet
Saw she was condoned

Stand stranded
Reach slowly
Hold out for your dance;
Your chance

Times of yore
Were her lost times
A minor painted
As a mime
No one to listen, no one to heed

She danced for them
With shortened hem
In a temple near the Thames
Sparks and sweat shading her shame

Never before had she been so alive
Just moving for pleasure, moving for their eyes
They asked for her parents, she told a lie

In her eyes
They had died, they had died

Stand stranded
Reach slowly
Hold out for your dance;
Your chance

One
Movement could get her a meaning, find for her a truth in being
Blind
To what she’d discovered: all the lovers, all the blood and cursed

To our dismay
She knew our place
Our complex host
Of old mistakes
Our withered grasp on all she could find

But we kept falling for her tricks
Those sticks and stones
Made nights end quick
Her bounded feet
Saw she was condoned

Stand stranded
Reach slowly
Hold out for your dance;
Your chance
Stand stranded
Reach slowly
Hold out for your dance;
Your chance
