Over The Rhine - Should lyrics

should I never dance

like Salome danced

bathing in the rain

and moonlight and flame

should I never sweat

surreal shadows

rushing through my veins

good red blood

run red

bone dry

should I never speak

the wisdom of hands

should I never use

the fingers that find

should I never read

the words on my feet

leading me to you

the blind lead the blind

bone dry

always

doesn't mean anything

always

no

should I never feel

the healing you bring

taking a look at me

I'm breathing

I'm breathing

should I trace a line

from lips to heartbeat

shoulder and across

to shoulder again

bone dry

always

doesn't mean anything

always

no

always

doesn't mean forever

always

no

bone dry
