To keep the lantern burning
I burn with no trace up in the cold sky
To find the dragon parade
I'm dialing life up on my telescope
The stage is empty and tired of light
But when I do the fan dance
When I do the fan dance
Hearts shut off like streetlights
Fringe and mathematics
I'm all the red in China
Searchlights answer gunfire
When I do the fan dance
The violinist puts his violin away
You write your questions on my skin
But even in the blackout
When I do the fan dance
I'll be in your dark streets
The stage is empty and tired of light
Of light that see through to love
Angels escort falling mercies
I'll find my balcony rose
I use my blindfold to dry my tears
Shaking down the curtain
Forbidden city broken into tonight
I'm all the red in China
I'm firecracker lightning
I use my blindfold to dry the tears
I am broken open, waiting for inventions
