And though the music stops and though the echoes die

Like a light at the edge of night beside her
Embossed upon her in the darkness
She's still spinning in a scarlet dress
And in a million taxis and they're going where
And they can smell the blood on the summer air
There are wolves lying in the dark
There are wolves hiding in the woods
With a tilted smile and a lover's laugh
There were wolves
She was dancing in a neon cave
And as the moves get in their heads
And as the drugs get in their heads
And when the fear dissolves itself
She carries unknown things inside her
They know that they don't know something without her

Till they find the words to make the first move

And so she rises up like a butterfly
There were wolves
They find the means to execute the first move
They drink their beer from plastic glasses

They growl and circle at the edge beside her

And they run beneath a million stars
Like old volumes they will never read without her
