Erlend Øye
Underground Dancer
Gallivanting all around the world
You just can’t get enough of every day
Hooking up with all the boys and girls
Chasing dragons deep inside you that you slay
And as stellar as you are there’s no way you can sustain
The self deception that pervades inside the fame
Inside your bubble avoiding things that make you try
For the ungrounded dancer never gets to fly
It’s your birthday baby don’t you know I got you a fancy Moroccan robe
Wrap it up around you like a chrysalis and your psyche will implode
Stuck in the riddle of your grand fantasy
Trading glances with the creatures that you tease
And when thе oligarch he flies you to his isle
Don’t bе surprised if it’s awkward for awhile
Stuck in Ubud on a fast from doing nothing to engage the world at all
Play your gamelon gong Babe I got you a fancy pashmina Shawl
Utopia is actually nowhere that’s what it means
Break all the hearts you can on your idealistic dream
You’re the Joker in the deck and the rules just don’t apply
But still the ungrounded dancer never gets to fly
Happy birthday baby I'll see you maybe at the corner at the end of the road
