[Verse 1]
Dan had very long limbs
From leading day to day
Hanging onto a cliff
That stretched him everyday
And when she'd ask to hold hands
He would smile and
Let one of his hands go
His whole life in one hand
His whole life

And when he'd say goodnight and
Leave her doorstep
He'd use his last strength
To wave back

So when he moved with you
And felt his body let go

That he had shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
