Backstage With The Modern Dancers Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Backstage with the modern dancers 

She was stretching her arm, figuring the body 

When they were breathing they were shouting 

She was concentrating on her breathing 

And didn't seem to mind as I sat there on the couch, tuned my guitar 

And played a few chords by closing 

Storing my thoughts, getting ready to perform 

With bare feet and painted faces, they took their places 

And shivering legs beneath covered four gowns 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh 

No, no, no, ooh, no, no, no, ooh, no, no, no, ooh 

And now they're are on wooden floors, sweat from their pores 

They're riding the mist, songs I can sing by myself 

Backstage with the modern dancers, the feeling I like I do 

I can feel them and I can feel it, feel it, feel it
