Dance Without Sleeping - Melissa Etheridge

I don’t want to talk about it

I’ve done enough I think

I don’t want to spend more money

Don’t want another drink

I would scratch out all the images

If I had the chance

Don’t ask me what I’m thinking

Can’t you see I only want to dance

Dance without sleeping

Dance without fear

Dance without senses no message I hear

Dance without sleeping

Dance till I’m numb

Dance till I think I can overcome

Walking on the edge of rage and understanding

Between the black and the white

This child is so angry

Alone here tonight

Alarming desperation

Leads me to believe

With all my shields and protection

It’s only me I deceive

Dance without sleeping

Dance without fear

Dance without senses no message I hear

Dance without sleeping

Dance till I’m numb

Dance till I think I can overcome

The eyes on a magazine

The voice on the radio

The kiss on the movie screen

This is the story I know

Fathers hold on and they never go Mothers hold on and they never go Lovers hold on and they never go Lovers they come and they never go Dance without sleeping

Dance without fear

Dance without senses no message I hear

Dance without sleeping

Dance till I’m numb

Dance till I think I can overcome
