Whisper / From Sugar (Dreamland Dance)

from There Goes the Cake by Mayhem Lettuce

/

lyrics

I whisper to the nightlight
I utter your name
So the shadows it casts on my wall
Will dance the dance that you taught me

I whisper to the nightlight
I tell it your secret name
So the shadows that creep up my wall
Won't haunt me anymore

When I was young and less mature
I wanted to be an astronomer
And ride the stars from here to Jupiter
And steal the moon from brother Lucifer

But I was always too scared of the dark
Until you came along and make your mark
My chocolate goddess avatar
Renewed my faith in love and stars

I whisper to the nightlight
It already knows your name
And the shadows that dance on my wall
Dance the dance you taught me
So long ago

And now I'm able to brave the black
And fight the nighttime demons back
The needle found in my haystack
My snow white aphrodisiac

And if at night in fear and shame
The shadows lick at my bedframe
My sanity I can reclaim
By simply calling out your name

I whisper to the nightlight
I call it by your name
It takes my hand and leads me
In the shadow dance you taught me
The Dreamland Dance you taught me
The sacred dance you taught me

about

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
