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
