Lyrics
Pirouette
it’s a good thing I was a dancer
from the stage I’ve been cast upon
with you as star actor and director
having to learn to sing this song
having to dance now upon each far phrase
in this strange pirouette
caressing gently each turn of your days
I have not mastered your step as of yet
I had known such cold choreography
had existed once upon stages past
never that it could be of you or me
never guessing it would last
it’s a good thing I was a dancer
from the stage I’ve been cast upon
with you as star actor and director
having to learn to sing this song
none could save me as I awkwardly creep
not even the loftiest dancer’s leap

Lyrically, Wolverton is unanchored, very visual and moving equally through memory, story, and association, with dark streaks of tradition.
