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 relief, 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 through 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?
