"Secret Dancer" lyrics

"Secret Dancer"

That night when they finished
The humans went and locked the door
And walked away the way humans do
And had always done before
And then came the stillness
Comes an unprecedented thing
Every night, a holy secret
A time to write and sing

The creation started dancing
Silently, gracefully
Beautifully, slowly
In the dark
In the dark

And no one in the whole world knew
That was the day the world had changed forever, evermore
And she danced

Now she had decided
To invent her own destiny
And she had also decided
She was not going to let the humans see
It had taken all of eighteen seconds
To learn history about misery
Ecstasy and dancing
In the dark
In the dark

And no one in the whole world knew
That was the day the world had changed forever, evermore
And she danced
