The Devil was Born for Dancing (day 142)

Needles and lemongrass, I sit closer to you

In darkness it’s easier to pick up the truth

I hope your fingers can handle it with care

cause I’d rather see fireworks even when they’re not there

 

Sunrise and sunset come searching for me

I’m always the drummer and never the beat

You’re always the question and never the answer

But you know the devil was born for dancing

 

I’m under the influence just like every day

I’d say you can’t shake me but I want you to stay

Still worrying about silent promises I’ve made

they’re louder than me, they make a cavalcade

 

Sunrise and sunset come searching for me

I’m always the drummer and never the beat

You’re always the question and never the answer

But you know the devil was born for dancing

 

Rereading, rewriting, replaying this night

We almost build moments but never quite right

So the tower comes tumbling and you and I burn

this will always be breaking but I’ll always return

 

Sunrise and sunset come searching for me

I’m always the drummer and never the beat

You’re always the question and never the answer

But you know the devil was born for dancing
