Noah Gundersen - Topless Dancer lyrics

rate me

If you lived in the shadow of the mountain

Would you notice when the mountain was on?

If you played in the sparkling fountain

When the drought seemed twice as long?

If that night you slept with strangers in their houses?

In the morning, singing a travelling song

Would you feel a little bit stronger when they were gone?

She sang to me the rhythm of Autumn

It was there that I found my space

In the search for the perfect Madonna

To bear the burden of Amazing Grace

I found her as a topless dancer

Making a mess of the place

She took no questions and she gave no answers

She just said

"Hold tight, don't leave the light on for me"

"Cause I just might cut myself loose and go free"

"I hope you see the topless dancer in me"

I learned to ask the Lord for forgiveness

For I learned to forgive myself

So I wore myself thin as a window

And all my trophes from the shelf

When I woke up in the morning from a good good dream

I felt the burden of unspeakable guilt

I washed the milky white stain from my bedsheets

And I prayed for help

So to the priest and the prophet

Who say our bodies are godless

Oh, tell me what the hell does that mean?

"I hope you see, I hope you see"

"I hope you see the topless dancer in me"
