Melissa Etheridge
Dance Without Sleeping
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna talk about it
I've done enough, I think
Don't wanna spend more money
I don't want another drink
I would scratch out all the images
If I had the chance
Don't ask me what I'm thinking
Can't you see I only want to

[Chorus]
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance without fear
Dance without senses
No message I hear
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance 'til I'm numb
Dance 'til I think
I can overcome

[Verse 2]
Walking on the edge of rage and understanding
Between the black and the white
This child is so angry
Alone here tonight
Alarming desperation
Leads me to believe
With all my shields and protection
It's only me I deceive
[Chorus]
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance without fear
Dance without senses
No message I hear
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance 'til I'm numb
Dance 'til I think
I can overcome

[Verse 3]
The eyes on a magazine
The voice on the radio
The kiss on the movie screen
This is the story I know
Fathers hold on and they never go
Mothers hold on and they never go
Lovers hold on and they never go
Lovers, they come and they never go

[Chorus]
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance without fear
Dance without senses
No message I hear
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance 'til I'm numb
Dance 'til I think
I can overcome
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance without fear
Dance without senses
No message I hear
Dance without sleeping
I'll dance 'til I'm numb
Dance 'til I think
I can overcome
