The Fan Dance

The Fan Dance - Sam Phillips

Written by：Sam Burnett

The violinist puts

His violin away

Forbidden city broken into tonight

I use my blindfold

To dry my tears

The stage is empty and

Tired of light

But when I do the fan dance

I'm all the red in china

I'm dialing life

Up on my telescope

Fringe and mathematics

Shaking down the curtain

To find the dragon parade

When I do the fan dance

Searchlights answer gunfire

Angels escort falling mercies

Hearts shut off like streetlights

But even in the blackout

I'll find my balcony rose

The violinist

Puts his violin away

Forbidden city

Broken into tonight

I use my blindfold

To dry the tears

The stage is empty

And tired of light

When I do the fan dance

I'm firecracker lightning

I burn with no trace

Up in the cold sky

I am broken open

Waiting for inventions

Of light that see through to love

When I do the fan dance

I'm all the red in china

You write your questions on my skin

I'll be in your dark streets

To keep the lantern burning

Until your new world begins
