lyrics

This is all I need, I can put one foot in front of the other
My chest is heavy but it loosens as the night draws me under
I am the dancer that has pushed into the crowd
No one is watching my reaction to the sound

Joe hand me the light, hand me the light
You sure know how to scare one soft spoken individual

Room of subtle surprise, his humor gentle yet commanding
I pause when you recognise someone like me, I’ve been in hiding

Joe hand me the light, hand me the light
You sure know how to scare one soft spoken individual

The drum beat beckoned our bodies from side to side
The singer understands what’s going on inside
I want to forget as the red light cools the band
The smoke I used to breathe is tugging at my hand
While the dim light tells us to be quiet…

Joe hand me the light, hand me the light
You sure know how to scare one soft spoken individual
I know it’s not a crime, it’s not a crime
But I’ll cover myself in blue to strip away the old attitude

Beauty don’t come easily
You ran out of words so left swiftly
Beauty don’t come without a fee
You ran out of beer so left swiftly
