You say: The older I get, the better I was Truth, from a distance But I still don’t measure up I thought I could handle my words with a good degree But they keep falling outta me Like oil spills at the sea Fate won’t change It knows me by name & it calls It says: Sell your soul to try understand it all But in the light of the magic hour Everything seems to slow right down The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing Don’t know where I go Or if I’m coming home In the still, dancing I met a marlboro man on the underground He had nothing to care about Yeah the dogs get to the top I'm beaten up by the world, I gotta say There’s a faded glory written on my face Fate won’t change It knows me by name & it calls It says: Sell your soul to try understand it all But in the light of the magic hour Everything seems to slow right down But in the light of the magic hour Everything just seems to slow right down The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing Come beat me down, I’m off the ground But I’m still dancing Try to add it up But it ends up another game No, life ain’t fair, is it vanity? Crowded streets all treat you the same Feet don’t fail me now I click my heels three times (I’m up off the ground) I lose and I get lost But I’m underneath the cross No, my fate won’t change It knows me by name & it calls Will I sell my soul to try understand it all? But in the light of the magic hour Everything seems to slow right down The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing The more I know, the less I know And I'm still dancing In the still, dancing The more I know, the less I know In the still, dancing I gotta go, the feeling’s gone And I’m still dancing The more I know, the less I know Down dancing
