Dancer in the Dark Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mitchel Cave]
She got her head in the dirt
And her neck in my hands
She won't live too long with a mind like that
I can't hang every day, baby, I've got plans, oh woah
I won't waste her time with a life like that
[Pre-Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Keep your hands on your face
Don't let 'em slip off with the pressure, no
Just stay blind
Take a gram to the face
Don't let 'em see your depression, no
It's not right
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Oh baby, maybe it's that look in your eyes
They been telling me she wanna leave
She's been dancing with the devil all night
It's like Hell is where she wanna be
[Verse 2: Mitchel Cave]
She got a smile on her face and a knife in her hand
She don't look too sane when she acts like that
She said, "It's hard to relate when you don't understand"
Well, get your shit straight, baby, I am not your man
She got her head in the dirt
And her neck in my hands
She won't live too long with a mind like that
I can't hang every day, baby, I've got plans, oh woah
I won't waste her time with a life like that
[Pre-Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Keep your hands on your face
Don't let 'em slip off with the pressure, no
Just stay blind
Take a gram to the face
Don't let 'em see your depression, no
It's not right
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Oh baby, maybe it's that look in your eyes
They been telling me she wanna leave
She's been dancing with the devil all night
It's like Hell is where she wanna be
[Verse 2: Mitchel Cave]
She got a smile on her face and a knife in her hand
She don't look too sane when she acts like that
She said, "It's hard to relate when you don't understand"
Well, get your shit straight, baby, I am not your man
[Pre-Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Keep your hands to yourself
Don't put 'em on someone else's life
Stay right there, right there
Take advice from yourself
If the energy's dead, baby, let things die
I don't care
Oh, no
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Baby, it's that look in your eyes
They been telling me she wanna leave
She's been dancing with the devil all night
It's like Hell is where she wanna be
Now, watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
[Bridge: Mitchel Cave]
I love to watch her dance
When the light's all gone her emotion shows
I love to watch her dance
Seems like tragedy is all she knows
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Baby, it's that look in your eyes
They been telling me she wanna leave
She's been dancing with the devil all night
It's like Hell is where she wanna be
Now, watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Keep your hands to yourself
Don't put 'em on someone else's life
Stay right there, right there
Take advice from yourself
If the energy's dead, baby, let things die
I don't care
Oh, no
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Baby, it's that look in your eyes
They been telling me she wanna leave
She's been dancing with the devil all night
It's like Hell is where she wanna be
Now, watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
[Bridge: Mitchel Cave]
I love to watch her dance
When the light's all gone her emotion shows
I love to watch her dance
Seems like tragedy is all she knows
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Baby, it's that look in your eyes
They been telling me she wanna leave
She's been dancing with the devil all night
It's like Hell is where she wanna be
Now, watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
Watch her dance in the dark
