A child 5 years of age stared into the sun   She stared into the bright lights so long it   Burnt a hole in her mind and branded her eyes   It imprinted upon her soul, mysteries of both young and old   And then she'd close her eyes tight to feel the darkness      She's a dancing girl, dancing girl   She danced so fast, so fine   She danced around with her eyes shut   To see the stars in her mind   A spinning jupiter, a spinning mars   She herself was just a singing star   A breathing constellation      Cause she's a bright point of light   Traveling through the skies of her mind   Oh and how she knew the stars   And the map of the human heart      For long lengths of time, she'd stay in her mind   And follow roads back, ancient tracks and primitive times   When giant birds lifted themselves of   Starry wings to burn white, fiery silhouettes into the night sky      She's a dancing girl, dancing girl   She danced for them   And she followed all the lines back   To where they did begin   She saw her mother in pegas wings'   She felt her father in a scorpial sting   A genetic constellation      Cause she was a bright point of light   Traveling through the skies of her mind   Oh and how she knew the stars   And the map of the human heart      She saw bursting flowers made of lucride stone   Shooting stars who songs sang to her bones   She saw stories her grandfather used to tell   His flesh was frozen was frozen and kept so well   And a clear meeting of words, but pictures to   Tell her what she knew she needed to hear      She's a dancing girl, dancing girl   She danced so fast, so well   And she danced until her knees got weak   And all resistance fell   And all the walls, they came tumbling down   She stood eyes open, back on the ground   Wiser, full of glory      She was a bright point of light   Traveling through the skies of her mind   Oh and how she knew the stars   And the map of the human heart
