Will You Dance?
Someone is waiting
Over by the window
Just beyond the stairwell, someone's crying
Drowning in the words of the prophets
That are written for the dead and the dying
Someone's lying
No one's buying
Someone is dying
Panic in the streets
Can't get no release, someone escaping
Waiting on a line for the holy revolution, parading illusion
Someone's using
Most amusing
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Smell of caviar and roses
Teach your children all the poses
How familiar are we all?
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Light fantastic in the morning
How romantic to be whoring
Boring though it may be
Who'll survive
If you and I should fall?
Someone is bleeding
Crimson in the night
Strangers in the light, a sudden meeting
Greeting one by one,
every life runs flashing before those dashing eyes
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Take a chance on romance
And a big surprise
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Take a chance on romance
And a big surprise
Over by the window
Just beyond the stairwell, someone's crying
Drowning in the words of the prophets
That are written for the dead and the dying
Someone's lying
No one's buying
Someone is dying
Panic in the streets
Can't get no release, someone escaping
Waiting on a line for the holy revolution, parading illusion
Someone's using
Most amusing
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Smell of caviar and roses
Teach your children all the poses
How familiar are we all?
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Light fantastic in the morning
How romantic to be whoring
Boring though it may be
Who'll survive
If you and I should fall?
Someone is bleeding
Crimson in the night
Strangers in the light, a sudden meeting
Greeting one by one,
every life runs flashing before those dashing eyes
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Take a chance on romance
And a big surprise
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Take a chance on romance
And a big surprise
