Over the Rhine - Should Lyrics

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

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
