Violent Femmes :: :: I danced



I danced before I had two feet.
   Sang before I had a tongue.
   I laughed before I had two eyes.
   Loved before my heart was young.
   I swam before I had two hands
   and held the distance in my toes.
   Before I heard the stars I knew
   the wild compulsion of the rose.
   I bore the fruits of many lies.
   Before I came into this day.
   I knew before my grave was made,
   the worms eat only death away
   the worms eat only death away
   I danced before I had two feet
   I danced before I had two feet
   I danced before I had two feet
   I danced before I had two feet.
