The Dancer and the Politician

from EP #1 by Max García Conover

/

lyrics

Sitting in the snow now is half of a chain
And his steps are like sticks
Birds place on their nests
As he runs like hell
And the other half hangs
On her neck where she sleeps
With the swan where it sings
Know I won’t wither and
When you’re running watch where your feet land
Where your feet land

Wild rang the bells with the ribbons she held
In her hands while she danced
With drummers all around
Slapping cowskins and
Staring at her hips
In a broke café
In the busy part of day
And as the way it goes, goes
Scientists were scratching at her windows
At her windows

Catch him in the winter cause he’ll never stop
Running in his white shirt his thin rubber soles
Catch him in the winter cause he’ll never stop
Running and he won’t see the swan for the snow
He won’t see the swan for the snow

He was a wrestler on the wires
A runner in the thick
And he felt freedom like smoke feels a flue
The way her chest heaved
He said he never noticed it
But looked up like a dog
Like the sky don’t know blue
And everything he stood, stood
For was well-regarded by everyone
By everyone

She said it on the corner of Daga Lake Drive
In the windfall the lake froze
Over and the geese were gone
“I think that you’re tired of life”
And his sky crashed down
Yeah his sky crashed down
And I won’t wither and
When you’re running watch where your feet land
Where your feet land

Catch him in the winter cause he’ll never stop
Running in his white shirt his thin rubber soles
Catch him in the winter cause he’ll never stop
Running and he won’t see the swan for the snow
He won’t see the swan for the snow

I tried to say our hearts were always in our heads
There’s no apple where our love goes
Apple where our love goes now

I tried to say my dance is a simple scientist
Got no roses where it comes from
Roses where it comes from now
