My Morning Jacket - Victory Dance Lyrics






Should I close my eyes and prophesize
Hoping maybe some day come
Should I wet the ground with my own tears
Crying over what's been done

Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed
Even though I'll never grow
Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
And believe in my good work
My good work
My good work
My good work

Hey there, I'm flying up above
Looking down on the tired earth
And I can see, I can see potential
Speaking through you, speaking to you
From all of heaven's possibilities

Power, hey do you know how it works
Hey do you know that the meek,
They shall inherit the earth
You should work, you should work
(?) than the memory

Should I hit the water or stay on dry land
Even though I've never swam
Take machete into the brush
Though at first there is no path

Taste the war paint on my tongue
As it's dripping with my sweat
Place my gaze in the future's path
Seeing things that ain't come yet

Hope to watch the victory dance
After whole day's work is done
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

Hope to watch the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

Setting sun
Setting sun
Setting sun

Hope to dance the victory dance
After whole day's work is done
Hope to dance the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

Hope to dance the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to dance the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

    Hey do you know that the meek, they shall inherit the earth
    You should work, you should work
    If only serving the family

    Should I hit the water or stay on dry land
    Even though I've never swam
    Take machete into the brush
    Though at first there is no (man?)

    Taste the war paint on my tongue

    Place my gaze in the futures path
    Seeing things that ain't come yet

    Hope to watch the victory dance
    After whole day's work is done
    Hope to watch the victory dance
    In the evening's setting sun

    Hope to watch the victory dance
    Over many lives to come
    Hope to watch the victory dance
    In the evening's setting sun

    Setting sun
    Setting sun
    Setting sun

    Hope to dance the victory dance
    After whole day's work is done (setting sun)
    Hope to dance the victory dance

  21. L.... R....

    loving this album....

  22. D.... D....

    Eso No Es Lupus

  23. j.... ....

    There is a bird that makes that noise from the beginning of this song. I hear it often when the sun is about set. I think it might be a Robin's call, but not sure. Anyone?

  24. T.... P....

    i used listen to this while farming gold in wow lol

  25. s.... g....

    and ingenuity continues

  26. D.... H....

    It's weird I've been here many times before but now there's people from a house? Or could it somehow be... House??? I'm so confused :(

    D.... H....

    In a season of House M.D, the character "house" a surgeon cuts open his own leg to remove tumors...:)

    D.... H....

    He not a surgeon though he is an amazing doctor. he has some complicated leg pain , after doing some experimental drugs he ends up with 3 tumours in his right leg, being stubborn and embarrassed he preforms a self surgery but due to pain he is unable to finish removing the last 2 tumours. He calls his boss / friend / ex and she drives him to her hospital where he gets a proper surgery and ends up recovering.

  27. V.... ....

    My leg hurts all of a sudden, ouch.

  28. A.... P....

    M Ward brought me here.

  29. p.... ....

    after hours upon hours of playing Red Dead Redemption I'm forced into a smile at the start and middle of this song

  30. L.... ....

    No judgement but I was blown away by this song while browsing porn and some girl had added it as her background song while she did a pretty damn good striptease.

    L.... ....

    Her name is Ashley Alban *drops mic*

    L.... ....

    Lexicon12 u have any sexy vids like Ashley?

    L.... ....

    Pretty epic striptease

    L.... ....

    Haha me to lady with the red ... Fucking nice

    L.... ....

    That was the best way to ever find this song.

  31. T.... H....

    ten people should be shot in the ears..

  32. D.... R....

    WRFL brought me here.

  33. M.... B....

    Song of the day 06-06-2016: That's always be the truth and the kernel of the truth; the dissatisfaction with any such inheritances, any such derivative profits of the meek. I want the heart and the soul, I want your face lit by a candle, feed me...All too easily I've flown off the handle. Whatever can be said of a victory dance must be preceded by the wordless bulk of work and sweat washing off the fancy and scenic do of war paint and elegantly painted faces.

    M.... B....

    01-09-2018// someday i might die, until then there’s too much to do.

  34. B.... B....

    i think the singer had contact with thiaoouba

  35. D.... H....

    Taking a real nice shit right now, hopefully I can finish soon so that I may victory dance

  36. J.... P....

    Whoa, I thought I was so unique.  Turns out everyone that came to hear this track was just watching season 7 of "House"!

  37. F.... ....

    Listen to this while removing tumors from my leg.

  38. k.... ....

    fcked my brains out!

  39. f.... ....

    Dr. Gregory House cutting tumors out of his own leg in the bathtub brought me here.

    f.... ....

    Holy shiiiiiit 😱😱

  40. D.... S....

    I was watching house and I was high as fuck and I heard this .
    aaaand that's why I'm here

    D.... S....

    I have had this album on a lot lately. I just heard it on House and was like "Shiiiiit I'm gonna have to listen to it again" xD

  41. R.... S....

    this song goes well with scotch

    R.... S....

    D.... ....

    D.... ....

  61. M.... M....

    Great song

  62. t.... ....

    Ok, let's all watch all the videos just to get them the "required" amount of views :) If this song would be like all others (with hundreds of millions views) it wouldn't be interesting. Therefore the world will be soooo boring. I'm glad I like the song and I just care less than less about other overrated crappy or not crappy songs on YT. Maybe this should get more views, but who cares as long it's awesome :)

  63. K.... ....

    I doubt it but the beginning sounds like it would be

  64. I.... ....

    Was it? I don't think so.

  65. K.... ....

    I swear, wasn't this in Red Dead Redemption?

  66. f.... ....

    I like how it ended with death. they went out in a blaze of glory

  67. T.... H....

    Kazzoookazoookazzoooo...

  68. O.... I....

    secret circle :P !!!!

  69. M.... ....

    Best song of the album imo.

  70. g.... ....

    spotify brought me here

  71. k.... ....

    SKIP AD!!!!

  72. S.... S....

    my Sirius/XM subscription brought me here, otherwise I would have NEVER known about this band...this is what should be playing on commercial radio....there is good new music out there, you just gotta dig....

  73. S.... G....

    Good vibes boys. No brag no hate...

  74. m.... ....

    Wow you are so cool. You are like the coolest guy that ever tripped ever in the world. Your words, they have changed the life that I experience through these "beady ass eyes" because of the absolute awe that I have no experienced at your acid dropping grace. Release me from my shackles and take me to your psychedelic haven of wonderment.....you...are...a...douche..bag.

  75. C.... W....

    Hahaha!! Man, I've eaten more doses than you've ever seen with those beady ass eyes of yours kid. Who the fuck are you talking to you?? And its not often you say anything at all to someone thats having a "bad trip"...so please, just stop trying to rack up those heady points and troll the fuck on.

  76. m.... ....

    Dude shut up. There is absolutely a such thing as a bad trip. People like you usually make them worse by saying useless shit like "embrace the madness"

  77. R.... S....

    Inclosed my eyes and felt like i was flying,

  78. S.... G....

    In essence you are definitely right, the bad trip did help me reach a sort of epiphany . But having a panic attack while tripping, is a madness I would never want to embrace lol.

  79. C.... W....

    No such thing as bad trip man, you just have to learn to embrace the madness :)

  80. k.... ....

    Yeah, even if not the same experience, still this tune can actually make you sweat cold doesn't it?

  81. S.... G....

    Its weird this song was playing when I started to have a bad trip.... for a few weeks after said trip I couldn't bring myself to listen to this song...

  82. k.... ....

    I had a REALLY DENSE nightmare a couple of months ago, and this was in my head all the next morning; haven't heard it since, gotta face those chills out of my system.

  83. P.... C....

    This can't be the official can it? If it is that pisses me off... Only 4,098 views? Like... This is better than any of the crap that gets hundreds of millions views. Long live MMJ!

  84. S.... A....

    thank you for uploading this!! :)
