Dance Puppet Dance
Falk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a ghost today
It was looking at me, it said
"Come and dance with med
Come and dance with me
I am a child you see
And I can not be free
Before you dance with me
So come away with me"
And he turned in ghostly grace
And he began to dance
I saw it stoled my will
My feet could not stand still
And I began to dance
Yes I began to dance
And around and around I danced
The devil joined in the dance
"So come away", said he
"O, come away with me"
And he turned in ghostly grace
And he began to dance.
And when the morning broke
And the old town awoke
Upon a meadow bed
The people found him left
But down the mountain high
Up from the valley low
An echo sound it's way
"O, come away" it said
"Come away with me




Away, away with me"
Ghost can dance

Line by Line Meaning

I saw a ghost today
Today, I encountered a supernatural apparition


It was looking at me, it said
The ghost made eye contact with me and communicated


"Come and dance with me
"Join me in a dance


Come and dance with me
Engage in rhythmic movements together


I am a child you see
I possess a youthful essence


And I can not be free
I am unable to experience liberation


Before you dance with me
Except if you participate in this dance


So come away with me"
Therefore, accompany me elsewhere


And he turned in ghostly grace
The ghost pivoted with an otherworldly elegance


And he began to dance
Then he initiated the dance


I saw it stoled my will
I perceived that it took away my volition


My feet could not stand still
My feet were incapable of remaining motionless


And I began to dance
Consequently, I commenced moving rhythmically


Yes I began to dance
Indeed, I initiated the dance performance


And around and around I danced
I swirled and twirled in continuous motion


The devil joined in the dance
Even the malevolent entity participated in the dance


"So come away", said he
"Therefore, accompany me," stated the devil


"O, come away with me"
"Oh, join me in another location"


And when the morning broke
As dawn arrived


And the old town awoke
And the aging settlement roused from slumber


Upon a meadow bed
Adjacent to a grassy field


The people found him left
The inhabitants discovered his absence


But down the mountain high
However, towards the lofty mountain


Up from the valley low
Ascending from the low-lying valley


An echo sound it's way
A reverberation made its presence felt


"O, come away" it said
"Oh, join me in another location," it urged


"Come away with me
"Accompany me


Away, away with me"
Elsewhere, elsewhere with me"


Ghost can dance
Supernatural beings are capable of dancing
