LYRICS
Tiny Dancer
Two words
That strike a chord
In the heart of every sensitive 32 year old man
A song actually I don't think I've ever heard
Until I saw, Almost Famous
So every night before I got to bed
I thank Cameron Crowe
For opening up a part of me
That I don't think I ever knew...until now
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
Now she's in me, always with me, a tiny dancer in my hand
You know let's skip all the other crap and get to the chorus
Like on that bus scene
No, keep going, keep going, keep going
There you go
Now you know what I really wanted to do
Is I wanted to re-create that timeless scene in Almost Famous
I wanted to do kind of like a performance art piece
Where I have a kiddie pool, and I jump in the kiddie pool...on acid
And then someone come and drape a towel on me
And then have Craig come behind me and sing along to the song
But what I think I'm gonna need everybody to do is
Sing the chorus along so we can really recreate that magic
Now I'm gonna count. I'm gonna give you a four count
Hey this is my show!
Alright, here we go
1, 2, 3, 4
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
One more time, come on sing it like you mean it!
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
One more time
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Oh my god it keeps going
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, a tiny dancer in my hand
K the teleprompter stopped
So we gotta do the chorus one more time
2, 3, 4
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Oh yea
