Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve She told me more about me than I knew myself The fortune queen of New Orleans,

I went up on the mountain side to see what i could see to see what i could be on the shining mountain I watched the day go down in fire and sink in the valley and sink into the sea drown in golden fire Fireflies danced in the forest night

Oh, when I saw her standing there Well my heart went boom When I crossed that room And I held her hand in mine Oh we danced through the night And we held each other tight And before too long I fell in love with her Now I'll never dance with another

There I was, yeah I just sat down in the seat you left You walked up I said "what are you doing with your beautiful self?" You rolled your eyes but you laughed and your song came on I begged you for a dance and we danced And it was on, eyes locked, clock

We knew every line, now I can't remember How it goes but I know that I won't forget her And we danced all night to the best song ever 'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever I think it went oh, oh, oh I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah I think it

Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve She told me more about me than I knew myself The fortune queen of New Orleans,

And I saw her standin' there. Well, my heart went "boom," When I crossed that room, And I held her hand in mine Whoa, we danced through the night, And we held each other tight, And before too long I fell in love with her. Now I'll never dance with

We wandered led by the gods You gave a voice Uîdluiā of the Allobroges Your feet danced In the footprints of the Otherworld The words of your songs Carved into our hearts

The time that you danced with me With no music playing And I don't mind I remember when we kissed I remember til I cry But the one thing I wish I'd forget The memory I wanna forget I can honestly say you've been on my mind Since I woke up today, up today

The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah Sunshine...yeah My sunshine I sold my soul for a one night stand I followed Alice into Wonderland I ate the mushroom and I danced with the queen Yeah we danced in between
