Dan the Dancer - Mitski

Dan had very long limbs

From leading day to day

Lean onto a cliff

That stretched him everyday

And when she’d ask to hold hands

He would smile and

Let one of his hands go

His whole life in one hand

His whole life

When he’d say goodnight and

Leave her doorstep

He’d use his last strength

To wave back

And once back in his room

Once back in his room

He’d return his waving hand

Back to its cliff

He liked it more than life itself

I’m sure

Cause Dan had never danced outside of his room

When no one was home and he would stop to hear the door

So when he moved with you

And felt his body let go

Of course you couldn’t know

It was you and you alone

That he had shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to

He would never tell you that it was his first time
