Vic Chesnutt - Isadora Duncan lyrics
[Vic Chesnutt - Isadora Duncan lyrics]
Once I dreamed I was
Dancing with Isadora Duncan
In a silver café it was a
Café that was not near here
She was planning to diversify
And she say I should do the same
So I whistled to her how I loved her the best
But she sang "I can't believe
You own this attitude"
So with some ballet moves
I removed her shoes
And I painted my lips to hers and still she
Sang "I can't believe you own this attitude"
(2) she needed her beauty sleep but I didn't
Want it to sound like that
Her mind was occupied
Her hard coffee was cold by then as snow
She sang "my smile is more than pearly white
And my dreams are more than you"
And she sang "My yellow eyes
Are more than mirrors
And my scarf is more than costume"
She closed her New Directions
Paperbook and screamed
"there is no shelter in the arts"
She'd been crying all day but now her
Eyes they were brighter than the moon
Dancing with Isadora Duncan
In a silver café it was a
Café that was not near here
She was planning to diversify
And she say I should do the same
So I whistled to her how I loved her the best
But she sang "I can't believe
You own this attitude"
So with some ballet moves
I removed her shoes
And I painted my lips to hers and still she
Sang "I can't believe you own this attitude"
(2) she needed her beauty sleep but I didn't
Want it to sound like that
Her mind was occupied
Her hard coffee was cold by then as snow
She sang "my smile is more than pearly white
And my dreams are more than you"
And she sang "My yellow eyes
Are more than mirrors
And my scarf is more than costume"
She closed her New Directions
Paperbook and screamed
"there is no shelter in the arts"
She'd been crying all day but now her
Eyes they were brighter than the moon
