Dance Alone
A true story. At a party in London I saw a girl dancing alone to Madonna's Live to Tell. Her eyes were closed. Guys came up to her and threw some shapes, whispered in her ear, and she just smiled and danced away from them. Including yours truly.

Lyrics
"Live To Tell"
In the bright lights playing
She's singing will she ever
Get the chance again?
Your eyes are closed
Your hips are swaying
You're in a different world
In a different pain
Where there's no time for tears
Or memories
No voice from here
Can turn you 'round
I want to reach you
I'm on my own
I just want to dance with you
But when we dance
We can't talk about love
'Cause you dance alone
You dance alone
When the silent bird
Of your loneliness (lonely nest) starts singing
When the song she sings
Can't hold back your fright
You can take these arms
To wrap around your sorrow
We'll be the beautiful ones
In the rhythms of the night
Where there's no time for tears
Or memories
No voice from here
Can turn you 'round
I want to reach you
I'm on my own
I just want to dance with you
But when we dance
We can't talk about love
'Cause you dance alone
You dance alone
At the bottom of the Well of Sorrow
And Loneliness
You're just looking for one sweet memory
Can you hear me?
Won't you take my hand?
I don't understand
I want to understand
Make me understand
Why you dance alone
Why you dance alone
Why you dance alone
Why you dance alone
