lyrics
SPUN LIKE GLASS (K Langley)
She is so alive as she dances
But she is dancing in stolen skin
And her dance is a counterfeit thing
Why don’t you stop her dancing and hold her
Before she drops like a stone to the floor
Before she cannot dance
And she doesn’t care anymore
Take the chance
Can’t you see there is no rest for her?
Just the dry bones of death and moments of being
Fly past her as she spins
Take the chance and spin her around, spin her around
Can’t you see she is spun like glass
She shall dance from door to door
Until she drops like a stone to the floor
And becomes like a shadow
In death she will dance no more for you
She will dance no more for you
She will dance no more for you
If she can stay long enough to revive her hopes
To try the try that will make it
She will dance from door to door
Until she drops like a stone to the floor
And she will dance no more for you
She is dancing down the bones
She is dancing down the bones
She is so alive as she dances
But she is dancing in stolen skin
And her dance is a counterfeit thing
Why don’t you stop her dancing and hold her
Before she drops like a stone to the floor
Before she cannot dance
And she doesn’t care anymore
Take the chance
Can’t you see there is no rest for her?
Just the dry bones of death and moments of being
Fly past her as she spins
Take the chance and spin her around, spin her around
Can’t you see she is spun like glass
She shall dance from door to door
Until she drops like a stone to the floor
And becomes like a shadow
In death she will dance no more for you
She will dance no more for you
She will dance no more for you
If she can stay long enough to revive her hopes
To try the try that will make it
She will dance from door to door
Until she drops like a stone to the floor
And she will dance no more for you
She is dancing down the bones
She is dancing down the bones

about
BABAL England, UK
One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter
overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth
