Demons Dance Alone by The Residents
Performed by
The ResidentsAbout
The title track from the Demons Dance Alone album.
Despite being written after the events of 9/11, the album seems very personal and this song in particular seems to be about failing to overcome ones personal problems (“demons” if you will) and how the only one who can truly help a person is him/he...
Demons Dance Alone Lyrics
You can know a needle's eye
Or a hungry baby's cry
But no one knows that demons dance alone
Silver linings came and went
When I was an innocent
Never knowing demons dance alone
But somehow I was seduced
And my innocence reduced
By a demon that became my own
Knowingly I followed it
I took the hook and swallowed it
Until I found it dancing in my home
Terrified I tried to quit
But I need the taste of shit
Like a dancing demon needs a home
I had hoped to fill my years with
More than melancholy tears
But the demon makes me dance alone
