I Danced - Violent Femmes

I danced before I had two feet

Sang before I had a tongue

I laughed before I had two eyes

Loved before my heart was young

I swam before I had two hands

And held the distance in my toes

Before I heard the stars I knew

The wild compulsion of the rose

I bore the fruits of many lies

Before I came into this day

I knew before my grave was made

The worms eat only death away

I danced before I had two feet
