Beck - We Dance Alone lyrics

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

Darker, we dance alone this way
It's getting darker, we dance alone this way

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

Darker, we dance alone this way
It's getting darker, we dance alone this way

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

Darker, we dance alone this way
It's getting darker, we dance alone this way

We dance alone this way
