lyrics

Dancing with the falling leaves, they are perfect company,
They are quiet dancers, and they know their dance steps.
Then, I take the lead. Introduce a different melody.
I know I’m not on Broadway, but man I got that feeling.

That I’m a verse away from breaking out,
Breaking out among the restless crowd,
Let them witness what I’m all about,
Let them eat it off the floor,
Is that not what they came here for?

To groove, feel my moves,
I am breaking branches, turning leaves to ashes.

Now I am higher than the canopy,
Looking down upon the restless streets
Setting fire to the falling leaves,
Watch them all go up in smoke,
Is that what you came here for?

Fire and melody,
Satisfy my primal and burning need,
To move among the branches,
and fallen leaves,
They are quiet dancers.
