From the recording Mysterious Skin
Lyrics
FIRE DANCE Dance dance dance on the fire I’m sorry but I will not be there for you when you wake up from your coma Dance dance dance on the fire I had to run and get out of town Had to lay low and go underground I saw them put you in the ambulance Said it was a case of lost innocence I had to leave you dying in your own blood It was the only chance of saving our love I had to run I had to hide It was to the closest to guarantee to stay alive Dance dance dance on the fire She speaks to me like no one I’ve ever known They all say that boys not right I’ve had to fight ever day of my life They won’t say what they do to me But they hang me up or fry me alive Shame I wasn’t born with a silver spoon Maybe the town wouldn’t judge me too soon They won’t believe it was an accident You’re the only one who knows how it went Dance dance dance on the fire She speaks to me like no one I’ve ever known She mean more to me than anything I’ve ever known I’m sorry but I will not be there when you wake up from your coma Dance on the fire
