Beck — We Dance Alone

[Verse 1] Send a telegram, tell me your thoughts I wanna live for a day in the way that we lost But unfortunately, the Twain got crissed not crossed Left the keys in the car so the legs have to walk On a desert terrain, we were wayward and plain Waiting for rain in a decade afraid Of what pain might do to the pleasure we knew Before we had to move on I did my best for you [Chorus] Darker, we dance alone this way It's getting darker, we dance alone this way [Verse 2] I waited for a fire to come out of the ground I tried to get back on the world as it was turning around Splinters and pieces from a life that crashed Watching every minute of the wreckage go past 'Cause motions wearing down all my thoughts 'Til they're all smoothed out like rocks we tossed Ducks and drakes over water we go Where we see there's only memories drowning below [Chorus] Darker, we dance alone this way It's getting darker, we dance alone this way [Verse 3] On a gravel train, we were waiting for hope I was a light fading out like a stray on a rope I let the scenery pass like a blown-out TV Thought I saw a ghost but it might have been me Might have been the world that was moving too fast Caught up in the future that was drunk on the past Now looking for a place where the nights unravel Last ditch road trespassers travel on [Chorus] Darker, we dance alone this way It's getting darker, we dance alone this way [Outro] We dance alone this way
