Dancing / Poor Little Raven lyrics

CADreaming · #1 05-06-2012, 07:42 AM

Poor litte raven
How she's lost her way
Buys all she can
But she can't seem to pray

All those who love her
Just wasting away
Dancing
Dancing

Poor little raven
Addicted to fame
Trying to begin
At the end of the game

All those who love her
They look on in pain
Dancing
Dancing

A thousand years
With no place to go
How will we get along?
A thousand pains
That raven never shows

This is our song

Promises, promises
Already planned
Innocence dies
When supply meets demand
Business and murder
They go hand in hand

Dancing
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing

Now shippers. Shoot. If this isn't about Stevie's recent dropouts for Macprojects, I'll eat a broom.

BTW, thanks, CADreaming...

Ha! It sounds that way, right?! But, I thought Bob Aguirre said it was an older song? Anyway, I guess it fits. And, probably why it's been dropped... lol Reminds me of Stevie saying Lindsey is the kind of person who will climb up on a cross to prove a point.

Does the poor little raven live in the penny arcade of Edgar Allen Poe?

I like this song a lot actually - if it was sped up just a litttle bit it'd do wonders for it. The melody is nice.

Lyrics are certainly interesting. "All those who love her are wasting away"... interesting.

Also, "Dancing" = "The Dance" = this never ending cycle they have going on....

he didn't. he just said it is a never before recorded or performed song.

i'm with whoever said they'll eat a broom. this song is saying similar thing that Mick was talking about in that playboy interview.

I can hear this song with production/arrangement like WATL or TAFE iwth billowy vocals. All very ethereal and almost lullaby-esque.

Either that or like Sleeping Around the Corner. Speed it up, slap some drums and synth on it and it could be cool.

EDIT: Hearing this song has also offset my initial disappointment about the backing tracks. I hope it's not too long before a new album, but if this song isn't even recorded then I guess it could be a while...

Trying to begin at the end of the game and promises, promises already planned sure makes me think of that.

Although the rest of the song sounds like an older Stevie. I don't think she's lost anymore. I'd like to know when it was written.
