The Fan Dance |
The violinist puts his violin away |
Forbidden city broken into tonight |
I use my blindfold to dry my tears |
The stage is empty and tired of light |
But when I do the fan dance |
I’m all the red in China |
I’m dialing life up on my telescope |
Fringe and mathematics |
Shaking down the curtain |
To find the dragon parade |
When I do the fan dance |
Searchlights answer gunfire |
Angels escort falling mercies |
Hearts shut off like streetlights |
But even in the blackout |
I’ll find my balcony rose |
The violinist puts his violin away |
Forbidden city broken into tonight |
I use my blindfold to dry the tears |
The stage is empty and tired of light |
When I do the fan dance |
I’m firecracker lightning |
I burn with no trace up in the cold sky |
I am broken open, waiting for inventions |
Of light that see through to love |
When I do the fan dance |
I’m all the red in China |
You write your questions on my skin |
I’ll be in your dark streets |
To keep the lantern burning |
Until your new world begins |
