| Out on the floor getting hot
|
| We were dancing the foxtrot
|
| Oh! |
| we didn’t know it was a funeral dance
|
| And a whole generation didn’t know it was a last chance
|
| And on the Eve of Armageddon
|
| Back in those days in '37
|
| We were swinging to the big bands
|
| It was a Ritual Dance
|
| When you push to the edge
|
| And you’re out of your head
|
| You just dance
|
| When it all comes down
|
| When you’re losing ground
|
| When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
|
| You just dance
|
| When the sky turns red
|
| When you’re left for dead
|
| When the whole world seems to go out of its head
|
| You just dance
|
| When I was young in '81
|
| The Red Tide
|
| Was coming on
|
| We were finished with disco and doing the Apocalypse Dance
|
| When you’re waiting for the bomb and you’re trying to get it on
|
| You just dance
|
| The situation is hostile
|
| Resistance is futile
|
| So just dance
|
| When you’re pushed to the edge
|
| And you’re out of your head
|
| You just dance
|
| When it all comes down
|
| When you’re losing ground
|
| When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
|
| You just dance
|
| When the sky turns red
|
| When you’re left for dead
|
| When the whole world seems to go out of it’s head
|
| You just dance
|
| We all know the song
|
| And we all know the way that it ends
|
| We all sing along
|
| And the band plays it over again…
|
| When you’re waiting for the bomb and you’re trying to get it on
|
| You just dance
|
| When you’re pushed to the edge
|
| And you’re out of your head
|
| You just dance
|
| When it all comes down
|
| When you’re losing ground
|
| When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
|
| You just dance
|
| When the sky turns red
|
| When you’re left for dead
|
| When the whole world seems to go out of it’s head
|
| You just dance
|
| We all know the song
|
| And we all know the way that it ends
|
| We all sing along
|
| And the band plays it over again… |
