lyrics

went on a walk trying to get lost
suddenly i came across
a yellow flower's head severed
blowing in the wind

there was no soil to hold her ground
she couldn't find a place to slow down
her petals grasping at the earth
she lost her companion

dance, dance, dance
we glide, we stride
we roll with the punches
but my hunch is
we won't survive this dance

i was a daffodil neat and new
thought i could grow with a beauty like you
thought i could make this place your home
what was i thinking?

you were a spider lily you know well
the flower that leads to hell
you led me there and back again
just in time for spring

dance, dance, dance
we glide, we stride
we roll with the punches
but my hunch is
we won't survive this dance

bet you're doing well there walking to the campfire
bet you're doing well there holding his hand
do you know that i'm here boiling like a water kettle
falling like a flower petal into the sand

dance, dance, dance
we glide, we stride
we roll with the punches
but my hunch is
we won't survive this dance
