All she ever wanted
In this whole world
Was to dance her bones away
All she ever wanted
In this whole wide world
Was to scream
What she could not say

Chorus:
Why is it cold and mean
All the time
Why do i always feel
Like a straight
Line is crawling
In and out and up
And down my spine
Even when i am sleeping

All she ever wanted
In this whole world
Was to dance her bones away
Only how she haunted
In this whole wide world
She wished
She could waste away

(Chorus)

Somebody open up her hands
Somebody open her hands up
So she can listen
Through her fingers
And finally touch it
Somebody open up her voice
Open her voice wide
Like a river
So time can deliver
All it's sweetness

Woman lies awake
Dreaming like alice
In some sequined wonderland
Still hallucinating
That her dark prince
Is gonna come
And take her hand

Lift it from the ground
It's been buried so long
Turn it all around
Until there's nothing wrong
Even when i am sleeping
All the time
Why do i
Always feel like
A straight line is crawling
In and out and up
And down my spine
Even when i am sleeping
