FLORENCE + THE MACHINEΒ /Β DANCE FEVER SENTENCE STARTERS
βΒ The very thing youβre best at is the thing that hurts the most. β
βΒ But a woman is a changeling; always shifting shape. β
βΒ I never knew my killer would be coming from within. β
βΒ And I was never as good as I always thought I was, but I knew how to dress it up. β
βΒ Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated. If I would feel better just lightly sedated. β
βΒ Iβm always running from something. β
βΒ Being clever never got me very far. β
βΒ And for a moment when Iβm dancing I am free. β
βΒ Is this how it is? Is this how itβs always been? β
βΒ Oh, donβt you wanna call it off? β
βΒ But there is nothing else that I know how to do; But to open up my arms and give it all to you. β
βΒ I donβt know how it started; Donβt know how to stop it. β
βΒ Somethingβs coming, so out of breath. β
βΒ I just kept spinninβ and I danced myself to death. β
βΒ And do they speak to you? βCause they speak to me too. β
βΒ Never really been alive before. I always lived in my head. β
βΒ Sometimes it was easier, hungover and half-dead. β
βΒ Iβm back in town, why donβt we go out? β
βΒ I came for the pleasure, but I stayed for the pain. β
βΒ If you get spat on, thatβs just your big city baptism. β
βΒ I thought that I was here with you, but it was always just an empty room. β
βΒ What a thing to admit, that when someone looks at me with real love I donβt like it very much. β
βΒ Is this something that you would like to discuss? β
βΒ And itβs good to be alive, crying into cereal at midnight. β
βΒ If they ever let me out, Iβm gonna really let it out. β
βΒ But, oh God, youβre gonna get it. Youβll be sorry that you messed with me. β
βΒ Everyone treated us like little pets. β
βΒ Oh, tell me, itβs not over yet. β
βΒ In my darkest fantasies, I am the picture of passivity. β
βΒ When I decided to wage Holy War, it looked very much like staring at my bedroom floor. β
βΒ And I know I may not look like much, just another screaming speck of dust. β
βΒ Well, did you miss me? β
βΒ Iβve been expecting you, Iβm ready. β
βΒ Deliver me that bad news, baby. β
βΒ Am I your dream girl? β
βΒ You think of me in bed, but you could never hold me and like me better in your head. β
βΒ Make me evil. Then Iβm an angel instead. β
βΒ At least youβll sanctify me when Iβm dead. β
βΒ Well, did I disappoint you? β
βΒ Do I just remind you of every girl that made you mad? β
βΒ Make me perfect, make me your fantasy. β
βΒ You know I deserve it. Well, take it out on me. β
βΒ I am nobodyβs moral center. β
βΒ All the things that I ran from, I now bring as close to me as I can. β
βΒ All this work gone to waste. β
βΒ I used to see the future and now I see nothinβ. β
βΒ Well, can you see me? I cannot see you. β
βΒ Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view. β
βΒ All the gods have been domesticated. β
βΒ Heaven is now overrated. β
βΒ Well, you can take your complaints straight to the Lord. β
βΒ I try to still look with wonder on the world. β
βΒ Heaven is here if you want it. β
βΒ Hell, if it glitters, Iβm going. β
βΒ You know I always get my man. β
βΒ I couldnβt help it, yes, I let it get in. β
βΒ The helpless optimism of spring. β
βΒ Iβm not bad, Iβm not good. β
βΒ Made myself mythical, tried to be real. β
βΒ There is no bad, there is no good. β
βΒ A generation soaked in grief; weβre drying out and hanging on by the skin of our teeth. β
βΒ I never thought it would get this far, this somewhat drunken joke. β
βΒ Sometimes I see so much beauty I donβt think that I can cope. β
βΒ So tell me where to put my love. β
βΒ Am I quiet enough for you yet? β
βΒ You said this could have been the best thing that ever happened to you; So you decided not to do it. β
βΒ If I was free to love you, you wouldnβt want me, would you? β
βΒ Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on. β
βΒ Iβve blown apart my life for you. β
βΒ Come here, baby, tell me that Iβm wrong. β
βΒ I donβt love you, I just love the bomb. β
βΒ Iβve been here many times before. β
βΒ I shouldβve come with a warninβ. β
βΒ Iβll show you what it means to be saved. β
βΒ Oh, you know Iβm still afraid. β
