Over the Rhine
Should
Bone dry

Should I never dance
Like Salome danced
Bathing in rain
And moonlight and flame
Should I never sweat
Surreal shadows
Rushing through my veins
Good red blood run red

Bone dry

Should I never speak
The wisdom of hands
Should I never use
The fingers that find
Should I never read
The words on my feet
Leading me to you
The blind lead the blind

Bone dry

Always
Doesn't mean anything
Always
No
Should I never feel
The healing you bring
Take a look at me
I'm breathing, I'm breathing
Should I trace a line
From lips to heartbeat
Shoulder and across
To shoulder again

Bone dry

Always
Doesn't mean anything
Always
No

Always
Doesn't mean forever
Always
No

Bone dry
