Lyrics

This dance
This dance
Is like a weapon
Is like a weapon
Of self-defence
Of self-defence
Against the present
Against the present
The present tense
No, I won't get heavy
Don't get heavy
Keep it light and
Keep it moving
I am doing
No harm
As my world
Comes crashing down
I'll be dancing
Freaking out
Deaf, dumb
And blind
In you, I'm lost
In you, I'm lost
I won't turn around or the penny drops
Won't stop now, won't slack off
Or all this love will be in vain
To stop from falling down a mine
It's no one's business but mine
Where all this love has been in vain
In you, I'm lost
In you, I'm lost
In you, I'm lost
In you, I'm lost
Written by: Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, Thom Yorke
