On the day I was born
you could've called me a fool
I was dancing to the old new years tune
I wanted to hear your heartbeat
so I turned towards the sky
and they cut me out like Caesar from the womb
Chorus:
in 2084
do you have to close the door
or do I get another shot on the dance floor
a 100 years away
will I be laying in my grave?
Or will I live to dance another day?
turn me upside down
and mop the floor with me
problem is it won’t get all that clean
watch me watch me go
I’m repeating all the grades
Why be in such a rush to graduate?
CHORUS
I’m alive to love ’til my last day
with my roots in the ground
and my branches in the sky
I want another chance to make things right,
to feel the breezes of spring,
watch the sun set in summer
how many times I’ll wind and spin
I wonder!
there’s a brain in my heart
and a soldier in my brain
marching out of step with the brigade
are we all connected
if you left me all alone?
I won’t be weighed down with that charade
CHORUS
Or will I live to dance another day?
yeah I’m alive to love ’til my last day
in 2084
