The Fan Dance

[00:03.13] The violinist puts his violin away
[00:10.59] Forbidden city broken into tonight
[00:18.05] I use my blindfold to dry my tears
[00:26.20] The stage is empty and tired of light
[00:33.14] But when I do the fan dance
[00:36.50] I'm all the red in China
[00:39.87] I'm dialing life up on my telescope
[00:46.28] Fringe and mathematics
[00:49.69] Shaking down the curtain
[00:52.81] To find the dragon parade
[01:00.03] When I do the fan dance
[01:03.48] Searchlights answer gunfire
[01:06.87] Angels escort falling mercies
[01:12.76] Hearts shut off like streetlights
[01:15.71] But even in the blackout
[01:19.24] I'll find my balcony rose
[01:26.53] The violinist puts his violin away
[01:33.27] Forbidden city broken into tonight
[01:39.92] I use my blindfold to dry the tears
[01:46.35] The stage is empty and tired of light
[01:52.78] When I do the fan dance
[01:55.74] I'm firecracker lightning
[01:59.39] I burn with no trace up in the cold sky
[02:06.05] I am broken open, waiting for inventions
[02:12.76] Of light that see through to love
[02:19.38]
[02:45.52] When I do the fan dance
[02:49.38] I'm all the red in China
[02:53.07] You write your questions on my skin
[02:59.79] I'll be in your dark streets
[03:02.72] To keep the lantern burning
[03:06.60] Until your new world begins
[03:15.03]
