Lyrics Dancing Nancies - Live at Whittemore Center Arena, Durham, NH, 02.19.96 - Dave Matthews Band

So, in the dark horns of my mind
Sometimes I dream the dream of somebody other than me
Sometimes I think the thoughts of somebody quite different from me
Sometimes I wonder, hey
Couldn't I have been somebody different
Somebody more like you
Somebody more like me
Don't you ever wonder?

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?

23 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? 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?
I'll sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
The thrill at it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out then I

I'll 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 Dancing Nancy, yeah
Could I have been Dancing Nancy, yeah
I could have been anyone
Could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll 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 ya tonight
The thrill at 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

I am who I am, who I, who am I?
Who am I? Who am I?
