Dancing Girl<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw a dream last night
\nbright like a falling star.
\nAnd the sources of light,
\nseemed so near,
\nyet so far.
\nI thought i was in flight,
\nout where the planets are.
\nMoving between day and night.
\nHear am I,
\nthere you are.
\nFollow the dancing girl,
\nvision and embrace.
\nSuch an entrancing girl,
\nshe moves with such rhythm and grace.
\nWho can she be?
\nFollow the dancing girl,
\ngo to the quiet place.
\nHere in the weary world,
\nsomewhere between time and space.
\nWe shall be free.<\/p>\n

Each of us is born alone.
\nWell welcome to the twilight zone.
\nYou can leave with only what you bring.
\nThings we cannot see appear.
\nSinging songs we cannot hear.
\nAn everything is surely everything.
\nMeanwhile in the ghettos dust and gloom.
\nBird is blowin in his room.
\nAll those notes(x3)
\nwont take the pain away.
\nAnd you’ll surely come to harm,
\nwith that needle all up in your arm.
\nAnd dope will never turn the night to day.<\/p>\n

Just a little further down the line.
\nBaby sister its these streets at night.
\nI say the wind blows chilly,
\nAnd the women need new shoes.<\/p>\n

So just tell her,
\ntell her what you wanna do.
\nboogie, bop or boogalo?
\nI said tell her what you wanna do
\nboogie, bop or boogaloo?
\nI said tell her, tell her
\nwhat you wanna do.
\nBoogie, bop or boogaloo?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
