Double Life
Soliterre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light the fire, feel the heat of desire
A look that's saying you got me where you want me
Grab me by the heart, taking me higher
Watching the sweat beads rolling down your body
Out of sight, she's the queen of the night
All eyes are on you, don't wanna miss this
But where do you go when they turn on the lights
When you get to do the things that no one gets to witness 'cause...

(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help keeping me awake at night
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help living in a double life
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help keeping me awake at night
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help living in a double life

On the beat, she'll be walking the streets
A fallen angel, bathed in the neon
I close my eyes, she appears in my dreams
You'll be my only, someone to lean on
Out of sight, she's the queen of the night
They throw you money, you blow 'em kisses
But where do you go when they turn out the lights
When you get to do the things that no one gets to witness 'cause...

(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help keeping me awake at night
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help living in a double life
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help keeping me awake at night
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help living in a double life

(Ooooh)
(Ooooh)

(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help keeping me awake at night
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help living in a double life
(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help keeping me awake at night




(Ooooh) She's a dancer
She can't help living in a double life

Not many musicians are fine-tuned perfectly to my musical tastes.
