Violent Femmes - I Danced Lyrics
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 handsAnd held the distance in my toes.Before I heard the stars I knewThe 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 awayThe worms eat only death awayI danced before I had two feetI danced before I had two feetI danced before I had two feetI danced before I had two feet.Gordon gano: vocals, guitarBrian ritchie: acoustic bass guitar, vocals, guitar soloGuy hoffman: drums, vocalsFrom the poem I danced before I had two feet written by max dunnProduced by brian ritchie and gordon ganoRecorded and mixed by david vartanian at dvs perversion room, milwaukee, wi gorno music reprinted with permission
