Intro
Verse 1
I Was Alone At Your Recital, You Were Open Like A Bible
On Your Toes You Circled Like A Halo
All The Girls Beside You, The Leotards Confined You
I Was Getting Lost Inside Your Faint Glow
I Never Told You How Much Everyone Adored You
By The Time The Words Would Reach Me, You'd Be Halfway Home
And That Day In Your Kitchen, Your Family Knew I Loved You
And They All Knew You Didn't And We Never Closed The Difference
Chorus
Penelope, You're Not Dancing Anymore
I Heard He Took Your Hand, But Your Feet Stayed On The Floor
Penelope, You Never Learned To Dance Alone
But Just Remember How I Did It Every Time You Came Along
Verse 2
You Never Watched Me As I Moved My Body
To Any Floor That Your Green Eyes Would Fall On
Waved My Hands In Silence As The Only Trees Passed By Us
Shuffled And I Shuffled, Someone Even Seen Me Fly Once
Back And Forth I Traveled, I Could Never Change The Channel
Stood Naked On The Field When I Knew I'd Lost The Battle
And When You Finally Left, No, I Could Never Learn The Steps
I Fell So Far Behind That All I Had Were My Own Hands
Chorus
Penelope, You're Not Dancing Anymore
I Heard He Took Your Hand, But Your Feet Stayed On The Floor
Penelope, You Never Learned To Dance Alone
But Just Remember How I Did It Every Time You Came Along
