Dance of the Aloof

from Long, Quiet Weekend by Dino Soldo

/

lyrics

So this is how it can be
Another wakeful dream
A rip of broken seams
For all the crowd to see

I stammered and I choked
On Another stupid joke
I stuttered all the lines
I wasn't funny at all

Oh but they don't know me well
If they think I will hide myself away

Might have been a simple mistake
Anyone could have made
But sometimes you won't know the cause
Or the reason at all

oh watch me dust (off) myself
And run to turn up the music in my head
Singing "I don't care at all!"
"I don't care at all!"
I won't care if I fall
I invented the dance of the careless.

This is part of being alive
Who wants to merely survive?
So I'll let the horses go
Run down dirt roads alone

I'm a friend to don Quixote
But he got nothing on me
I'm a contrarian dream
Who's solo on the scene

And if my face is turning red
It's just the heat from the music in my head
Singing "I don't care at all!"
"I don't care at all!"
I won't care if I fall
I invented the dance of the careless.
