elizabeth swados - the dance lyrics

mother, watch your gypsy daughter dance
pushing up her big fat rock
mother, watch your gypsy daughter dance
pushing up her big fat rock

these are the steps she learned from a sailor
searching for coins on the beaches of brazil
he didn’t have a shirt, he didn’t have shoes
but, yes, he could dance
all day if it mattered
which, it always did
so let your gypsy daughter ask you this
now let your gypsy daughter ask you this
that if the choice is to sit in the sand or to dance
if the choice is to sit in the sand or to dance
oh, why not dancе?
mother, why not dance?
why not dance?

so hеre i go
one two, one two three
my rock is heavy, believe you me
it only goes uphill, that’s the worst part
but it goes, and as long as it does

if the choice is to sit in the sand or to dance
why not dance?
mother, why not dance?
why not dance?
mother, why not dance?

on past kidnapping and revolutions
on past subway robberies
and on past the despair of those not discovered
and those discovered who didn’t deserve
and on past discovery, and on past wish
and on past the world, fast becoming miami
and on past the loss of trees, and on past loss of free
and on past the laws and limbs since not
passing more and more hungry mouths, which want to swallow your laughable name[?]
gypsy
for no reason
except hunger
for no reason
except hunger
no reason
except that’s the way that it is
(that’s the way that it is)

now!
watch because no one’s caught your gypsy daughter yet
and unless she forgets to keep dancing
she’ll lay with her heavy, heavy uphill rock
push past the greatest danger of all
which is her own loveless life and this fat rock
and the uphill dance with her heavy feet
and where in the h+ll does she think that she’s going?
and all of these questions, enough for a lifetime

so, if the choice is to sit in the sand or to dance
why not dance?
why not dance?
why not dance?
