Dancing all the night long

Dancing to forget

How easy dancing comes to me

When the day falls out wrong

When I long to blank the mind

Or hang my head to weep

Cheek to cheek, with the floorboards creaking

Stumbling in and out of time

I dance to forget pain

I dance to remember beauty

To remember not to be so vain

And I dance to hold you close to me

With the apocalypse on

Just the warm-up, not the big one

When I am sinking down

I'll be searching for a song

I dance to forget pain

I dance to remember beauty

To remember not to be so vain

And I dance to hold you close to me
