Over The Rhine - Should

bone dry
should I never dance
like Salome danced
bathing in the 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
taking 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
