Lyrics Dancing Nancies - Live at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, RI 01.31.95 - Dave Matthews Band

Does anyone wonder
If maybe
Things were slightly different than the way you turned out
You might not be
Exactly what you are
Maybe you'd be somebody else
Somebody completely different from yourself
Well

Could I have been a parking lot attendant?
Could I have been a millionaire in Bel Air?
Could I have been lost somewhere in Paris?
Could I have been your little sister?
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Could I have been anyone other than me? (ow)
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Could I have been
Anyone

He stands, touch his hair, his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I
I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
What's the use in hurrying?
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy

I am who I am, who I am, well, who am I?
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me? And then, I-
Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out, and then I-
I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
What's the use in hurrying?
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy

Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy?
A dancing Nancy, yeah!
I could have been anyone
Could I have been anyone other than me? la-la
Sing and dance
La-la-la, hey! La-la-la, hey! La-la-la
Sing and dance
La-la-la, hey! La-la-la, hey! La-la-la
Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out, then I-
Look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
What's the use in hurrying?
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
