Dance for You Lyrics

I ran across cyanide plains
Mind like a prison cell
But feet untethered and sane

I wander out, hopeless and sad
No thought of where to go
Or how I ever get by

There is an answer
I haven't found it
But I will keep dancing till I do

I boogie down gargoyle streets
Searching in every face
For something I could believe
I knelt beneath what Congress is
I wanna feel the breath of a force I cannot explain

There is an answer
I haven't found it
But I will keep dancing till I do
Dance for you, dance for you

There is an answer
I haven't found it
But I will keep dancing till I do
Dance for you, dance for you
