lyrics
She'd dance on the backs of the mules in the road
She'd dance on the scraps and the stones that we'd throw
She'd throw back her head, and she'd swallow the bones
She danced with the things that she cared about most
So time and time and time again
she danced at the end of a rope
One day we all found her frozen to the road
her eyes, painted porcelain buried in stone
She answered her echoes and died from the cold
She died with the one who had loved her the most
So time and time and time again
she danced at the end of a rope
She'd dance on the scraps and the stones that we'd throw
She'd throw back her head, and she'd swallow the bones
She danced with the things that she cared about most
So time and time and time again
she danced at the end of a rope
One day we all found her frozen to the road
her eyes, painted porcelain buried in stone
She answered her echoes and died from the cold
She died with the one who had loved her the most
So time and time and time again
she danced at the end of a rope
