Lyrics

Dancing Barefoot

[Verse 1]

She is benediction

She is addicted to he

She is the root connection

And she is connecting with me

[Pre-Chorus]

Here I go and I don't know why

I spin so ceaselessly

Could it be he's taking over me?

[Chorus]

I'm dancing barefoot

Headed for a spin

Some strange music drags me in

It makes me come up like some heroine

[Verse 2]

She is sublimation

She is the essence of thee

She is concentrating on

He who is chosen by she

[Pre-Chorus]

Here I go and I don't know why

I spin so ceaselessly

Could it be he's taking over me?

[Chorus]

I'm dancing barefoot

Headed for a spin

Some strange music drags me in drives me on

It makes me come up like some heroine

[Verse 3]

She is recreation

She, intoxicated by thee

She has the slow sensation that

He is levitating with she

[Pre-Chorus]

Here I go and I don't know why

I spin so ceaselessly

'Til I lose my sense of gravity

[Chorus]

I'm dancing barefoot

Heading for a spin

Some strange music drives me on

Makes me come up like some heroine

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you

Oh God, I feel for you
