Mitski - Dan the Dancer (Official Audio)

"Dan the Dancer" from the album Puberty 2 by Mitski. Lyrics: Dan had very long limbs From leaning day to day Lean onto a cliff That stretched him everyday And when she asked to hold hands He would smile and Let one of his hands go His whole life in one hand His whole life When he’d say goodnight and Leave her doorstep He’d use his last strength To wave back And once back in his room Once back in his room He’d return his waving hand Back to its cliff He liked it more than life itself I’m sure Cause Dan had never danced outside of his room When no one was home and he would stop to hear the door So when he moved with you And felt his body let go Of course you couldn’t know It was you and you alone That he had shown his bedroom dance routine Shown his bedroom dance routine Shown his bedroom dance routine Shown his bedroom dance routine Shown his bedroom dance routine Shown his bedroom dance routine He would never tell you that it was his first time
