Should - Over the Rhine

Should I never dance

Like Salome danced

Bathing in rain

And moonlight and flame

Should I never sweat

Surreal shadows

Rushing through my veins

Good red blood run red

Bone dry

Should I never speak

The wisdom of hands

Should I never use

The fingers that find

Should I never read

The words on my feet

Leading me to you

The blind lead the blind

Bone dry

Always

Doesn’t mean anything

Always

No

Should I never feel

The healing you bring

Take a look at me

I’m breathing, I’m breathing

Should I trace a line

From lips to heartbeat

Shoulder and across

To shoulder again

Bone dry

Always

Doesn’t mean anything

Always

No

Always

Doesn’t mean forever

Always

No

Bone dry
