Nick Cave - Cosmic Dancer (original: T.Rex)

[media=https://youtu.be/wc7mDChiiNU]

I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was out
I was dancing when I was out

I danced myself right out the womb
I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself right out the womb

I was dancing when I was eight
I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late?
Is it strange to dance so late?

I danced myself into the tomb
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb

Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be alone
I liken it to a balloon

I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb

@MoonlightLullaby That's what caught me listening, beyond his ability to convey images in such a melodic musical way. You can't hear right now, but that might also be my love of him speaking. First, listen for me. 🙏
