Thanks for coming
Sometimes I like to just hide in the shadows
Create a new persona
A different identity
I can be whoever I wanna be
Create a new persona
Honestly, I wish I could be like other people
And just not care
But out here
On the dance floor
I feel so free
Oh, by the way, it all started like this
So, how's your evening so far?
Don't be a vibe kill
Come on, meet me on the dance floor
Come here, baby, I can give you much more tonight
Oh, baby, let's do it right
It's really hard for me to trust people
Can you blame me?
I never know what people like me
That's why I like to go dancing
Safety in numbers
That's why I like to go dancing
Safety in numbers
Safety in numbers
Come on, meet me on the dance floor
Come here, baby, I can give you much more tonight
Oh, baby, let's do it right
I feel so free
I feel so free
I feel so free
It's dangerous with just one person
And that's not a nice feeling
But out here on the dance floor
I feel so free
I can't explain
On the dance floor
I feel so free
Been so lonely, I can't take anymore
Give me champagne so I can get on the floor tonight
Oh, baby, let's do it right
I feel so free
I feel so free
I feel so free
I feel so free
Come on, meet me on the dance floor
Come here, baby, I can give you much more tonight
Oh, baby, let's do it right
So, how's your evening so far?
I feel so free
I feel so free
I feel so free
I feel so free
Come on, meet me on the dance floor
Come here, baby, I can give you much more tonight
Oh, baby, let's do it right
(Free)
Everything begins with consciousness
(Consciousness, consciousness, consciousness, consciousness)
(Consciousness, consciousness, consciousness, consciousness)
(Consciousness, consciousness, consciousness, consciousness)
(Consciousness, consciousness, consciousness)
Traveling through space and time
Interstellar helix unwind
Don't forsake, or the love will die
Don't forget your love, alright
On the spiral light, we fly
We will be one, we will be divine
All the spirits, they all intertwine
Don't forget that
That it's good for the soul
To let down your hair and breathe in the air
Good for the soul
'Cause up to the sky, a thousand birds fly
Good for the soul
The ones that you love will keep you above
Good for the soul
So just dance in the rain, no need to explain
Drifting through the stars for miles
Moon is in Virgo, the Sun in the sky
Venus in Taurus, the planets aligned
Don't forget your love, alright
Echoes of voices recalling the time
We will be one, we will be divine
Time is a river we cannot unwind
Don't forget that
That it's good for the soul
To let down your hair and breathe in the air
Good for the soul
'Cause up to the sky, a thousand birds fly
Good for the soul
The ones that you love will keep you above
Good for the soul
So just dance in the rain, no need to explain
Soul
We can be there now, we can breathe air now
Soul
We can be there now, we can breathe air now
Soul
The ones that you love will keep you above
Good for the soul
So just dance in the rain, no need to explain
Soul
Ready?
People think that dance music is superficial
But they've got it all wrong
The dance floor is not just a place
It's a threshold
A ritualistic space where movement
Replaces language
So can you feel this? Mm
'Cause I can feel this, mm
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of life
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away, yeah, you're one step away
Understand your violence
And the trauma you've survived
Nobody's free until they're broken
Understand your silence
And the drama deep inside
Nobody's free, it's just a token
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of life
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away from the breath of life
One step away
Yeah, you're one step away, yeah (so can you feel this? Mm)
('Cause I can feel this, mm) one step away
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of life
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away, yeah, you're one step away
Even in the shadows
Where there's nowhere left to hide
Nighttime comes before the dawn
Come and get salvation
All God's children can be saved
We're all waiting for our freedom
Ah-ah-ah-ah (oh my God, my God, my God)
Hey-oh (so can you feel this? Mm)
Ah-ah ('cause I can feel this, mm)
Ah-ah (so can you feel this? Mm)
Oh-oh ('cause I can feel this, mm)
One step away
One step away
It's just one step away
You're one step away
From the dance of life
Ask yourself this
What are you doing it for?
Is it for you? Is it for them?

We had to come inside
Baby, free yourself and love is on the other side
We only got all night so, baby, party all night long

It comes back to you (bizarre, bizarre, bizarre, bizarre)
Movie star, deep blue eyes

He drove way too fast
Shelby Cobra, wasn't meant to last
(Meant to last, meant to last)
(Meant to last, meant to last)
Roll out the carpet for us, but you won't share it
I guess you're threatened by me, you won't admit it
The little things that you did that made me want you
The fire was so intense
Who knew love can be so bizarre?
Yeah, only love can be so bizarre
Only love can be so bizarre
Why do you tempt me?
Why do you tempt me?
I know I left you behind and you resent me
A thousand reasons why you could never have me
The thought of being with you is so indecent
I guess you'll never know my dirty little secrets
Now you're gone, I feel so empty
Why do you tempt me?
Who knew love can be so bizarre?
Yeah, only love can be so bizarre

There's only one thing I like more than sharing what I know with other people
And that's learning
Please, someone, teach me something I don't already know
Trust like this
Sex, romance
Blind ambition
I'd rather be your lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover

Once I had a masterpiece that burned in a fire
Maybe you're Picasso, but you're also a liar
I need a blank canvas and I'll paint my desire
Can you fit my frame? I know you love to be wild
I only need two things (trust like this)
You get me so crazy (sex, romance)
I think I need to show you the way (blind ambition)

People really think that there's a beginning and ending
To this thing called life
But energy never dies
This is just a portal we're going through
Still, it's hard to let go
(To let go, to let go, to let go, to let go, to let go, to let go, to let go)
(Portals we're going through)
We shared a name, a home
We shared a fragile bond
Now you're gone
We laughed, we cried
We held each other's hands
We had each other's eyes and we belonged
This is the part I hate the most
The words inside my heart
I know you're fragile
'Cause you've been hurt, been let down
You couldn't be yourself now
You had a nervous breakdown
I know you're fragile
'Cause you've been hurt, been let down
You couldn't be yourself now
You've been hurt before
When I'm alone
I see you standing there
I see inside your soul
And I feel whole
We were so lost
As children, we would dream
We thought we'd run away
And we'd be free
This is the part I hate the most
The words inside my heart
I know you're fragile
'Cause you've been hurt, been let down
You couldn't be yourself now
You had a nervous breakdown
I know you're fragile
'Cause you've been hurt, been let down
You couldn't be yourself now
You've been hurt before
You've been hurt
Late last night I was fast asleep
You came to me in a dream
You said: Don't forget about me
Don't forget to be happy
(So I hope you found a higher ground, a higher ground)
(So I hope you found a higher ground, a higher ground)
I know you're fragile
'Cause you've been hurt, been let down
You couldn't be yourself now
You had a nervous breakdown
I know you're fragile
'Cause you've been hurt, been let down
You couldn't be yourself now
You've been hurt before
You've been hurt
Je n'étais pas perdue
J'étais juste cassée
Ils ont essayé de me faire tomber
Je m'en fous
Mes péchés sont mon sauveur
You are my life
You are my lover
Into the night (my way of light)
Come into my life
My sins are my savior
Viens ici, écoute un peu
Croyant faire le bien
En fait, ils t'ont fait du mal
Cassant les murs qui les aveuglaient
Tu as libéré des âmes
Les fissures laissent passer la lumière
La lumière est la plus belle des armes
L'amour est la plus forte des armures
Tu as toujours été son soldat
You are my life (around the world)
You are my lover
Into the night (my way of light)
Come into my life
My sins are my savior
You give me life (my ray of light)
'Cause you take me higher
Stay by my side
Come into the light
My sins are my savior
I've been A Belle Du Jour
Can you blame me? Can you blame me?
I've read Marquis De Sade
Do you know it? Did you like it?
I tried to find my way in unfamiliar faces
I looked for love in unexpected places
I was not lost, I was just broken (oh)
They tried to take me down
They tried to take my crown
They whispered lies
They tried to break me
But I would not give in
My sins are my savior
When the book of love is written, I am the writer
And by the last page, you will not be mentioned
It's not because you never loved me
It's just because you lost your faith
This is a story of betrayal (ha-ha)
You couldn't see your fall from grace (ha-ha)
So take the hammer, hit the nail (ha-ha)
You'll never take my mother's place (ha-ha-ha)
Open the dam, let the water crash in
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Open the dam, let the water rush in
Let it go, let it go, let it go
The chapters, they are many, the verses, they are few
I hope that when it's over, I'll still think of you
It's not because I can't forgive you
It's just because I lost my faith
This is the story of survival
You couldn't see your fall from grace
So take the hammer, hit the nail
You'll never take my mother's place (ha-ha-ha)
Open the dam, let the water crash in
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Open the dam, let the water rush in
Let it go, let it go, let it go
(Open the dam, let the water crash in)
(Let it go, let it go, let it go)
Open the dam, let the water rush in
Let it go, let it go, let it go
And now we're dancing, yes, we're dancing
We're together, forever
You betrayed me, you enslaved me
We're together till the end
And we're dancing, yes, we're dancing
We're together, forever
Used to hate you, I don't hate you
Blocked forever till the end
Open the dam, let the water crash in
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Shining on our skin, shining
Shining on our skin, shining
Shining on our skin, shining
Shining on our skin, shining
Little star
I tried to put you on a pedestal
You didn't ask for all the flashing lights
I didn't think of how it could disturb
Or how it hurt
I wish I knew
The pain I've caused
My butterfly
Was always being watched
I know they tried to put us to the test
We're not the same, but I'm treading on your footsteps
Sometimes I think you wish I'd go away
But my shadow stays, and it's okay to be yourself
I know they tried to put us to the test
You're not to blame, but you need to be free now
You made me whole when I was broken too
And I hope and pray I can do the same for you
Shining on our skin, shining on us
Shining on our skin, shining on us
Shining on our skin, it's shining on our skin
It's shining on us
Surrounding all around you
A hand tenderly reaching to me
You are my reason to be
Or what I want, or look like
What I wear, all the clothes on my back
And what I attract
I trace the line of what you have sewn
Keep my own design
Make it a landscape, make it alive
I know they tried to put you to the test
I'm not so different, time is knocking on my doorstep
You show me your razor-sharp laser vision
Real brave will make you feel kind of different
I know they tried to put us to the test
I'm not the same when I'm hanging on your coattail
Sometimes I wish I could multiply you
But I know you are all around me
You are all around me
I know you feel just like a butterfly
In case I have to tread lightly on my footsteps
I see that there is so much light in your heart
It's shining on our skin, it's shining on us
Surrounding all around you
On Avenue B, she paints her lips cherry red
Mirror cracked in her hand
Eyeliner smeared, running out the door
Still there from the night before
Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
The night is kind
The day is blue
Everything fades away
Except for you, you, you
She wears his leather jacket out in the rain
Sleeps to forget his name
Polaroids are taped to the wall
Can't forget that boy at all
Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
Ignored all the signs
The rent is overdue
Everything fades away
Except for you, you, you, you
He played guitar on St. Mark's Place
Had a Marlon Brando face
Painted nails the same shade as his boots
Bleach blonde dirty roots
Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
Drink too much whiskey
Cigarettes when he kissed me
Lower East Side boy
I wasn't meant for you
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
