Dancer in the Dark Lyrics

[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

Genius Annotation

Dancer in the Dark is about a depressed girl who is in love with a boy. But her depression messes up their relationship. I personally think this song Is very heartfelt and touching with a dark twist. It has a good melody and is very catchy. Hearing Mitchel Cave sing, brings a nostalgic feeling.
