Dancing In The Dark
I don't see the eyes on me, I'm dancing for the lark.
I don't see the grand jury, I'm dancing in the dark.
I don't care about the move, I'm dancing for the lark.
I don't care about the groove, I'm dancing in the dark.
I don't seek the money clause, I'm dancing for the lark.
I don't seek the big applause, I'm dancing in the dark.
I don't think of how it cooks, I'm dancing for the lark.
I don't think of how it looks, I'm dancing in the dark.
I don't fear the gaffe misstep, I'm dancing for the lark.
I don't fear the inept schlep, I'm dancing in the dark.
I don't know the hottest bop, I'm dancing for the lark.
I don't know the newest hop, I'm dancing in the dark.
