All she ever wanted in this whole world

Was two dance her bones away

All she ever wanted

In this whole wide world

Was to scream what she could not say

Why is it cold and mean all time

Why do I always feel like a straight line

Is crawling in and out

And up and down my spine

Even when I am sleeping

All she ever wanted

In this whole wide world

Was to dance her bones away

Only house she haunted

In this whole wide world

She wished she could waste away

Why is it cold and mean all time

Why do I always feel like a straight line

Is crawling in and out and up

And down my spine

Even when I am sleeping

Somebody open up her hands

Somebody open her hands up

So she can listen through her fingers

And finally touch

Somebody open up her voice

Open her voice wide like a river

So time can deliver all its sweetness

Woman lies awake dreaming like Alice

In some sequined wonderland

Still hallucinating that her dark prince

Is gonna come and take her hand

Lift it from the ground

Its been buried so long

Turn it all around

Until there's nothing wrong

Even when I am sleeping

All time

Why do I always feel like a straight line

Is crawling in and out and up

And down my spine

Even when I am sleeping
