Umber, you're earthy
My slumber escapes me
Discovery, I don't want to know
It stings like sunburn, on a blistery day
With a mask on, you venture through the day
Imagery, squeezing like a tourniquet
It's ugly, and it's in my way
But there's beauty not so far away
It's his-story day (his-story day)
It's his-story day (his-story day)
And I'm not moving toward
I'm not wincing anymore
I'm now looking forward
With a one-step two-step three-step waltz
And I'm dancing
In my umber I'm dancing
Under, the cream of milky way
Your thunder unsettles me
Uncovering, what I don't want to know
Keep that dark curtain closed
It's his-story day (his-story day)
It's his-story day (his-story day)
And I'm not moving toward
I'm not wincing anymore
I'm now looking forward
With a one-step two-step three-step waltz
In my, in my inner ear I feel my pulse
And I'm dancing
In my umber I'm dancing
It's my number I'm dancing
With a one-step, two-step, three-step waltz
