quinceniera

i heard her call

shook me right out of my bed

came to console me

placing her hand on my head

i felt her sing

using the wind as its words

promising only

promising me to the earth

every night i get older

every night is the same

i could place blame

death can dance

if they want romance

all i need is some air

the dead can dance

if they want romance

i can never compare

well i felt it leave

sharing the smoke from my breath

she said don't follow me

'cause you're dancing with death

every night i get older

every night is the same

every morning i'm eager

i can't wait to place blame

let me explain

the dead can dance

if they want romance

all i need is some air

the dead can dance

if they want romance

i can never compare

i heard her call

shook me right out of my bed

came to console me

placing her hand on my head
