Dancing Pretty Is A Naked Fear Poem by Christopher's Dead

Dancing Pretty Is A Naked Fear

Rating: 5.0


Well she walks down the street
And she walks all alone
And she chokes as she cries
‘Cause nowhere feels like home
She carries
All of her clothes

She don't make a lot of money
She don't have a lot of friends
There's no respect for herself
And these feelings never end
She'd like to
Just disappear

[Chorus]
And she always ends up feeling sick
But she don't wanna quit ‘cause it feels so great
Dancing pretty
Is just a naked fear
A naked fear

Well she has a perfect body
And she has a pretty face
And her eyes are deep and lovely
But she can't get a trace
Of feeling
All of the stares

Buys a warm shot of whisky
And she wastes it all down
Everything tastes like lead
The unforgiving ground
So heavy
Are her bruised limbs

[Chorus]

And she almost always tears her heart off
Like the black dress stained cheap poison product
Indecision
Far back in time
Did she cross the line...?

And she always ends up feeling sick
And she looks in the mirror and she don't see s**t
Dancing pretty
Is just a naked fear
A naked fear
