Thought I’d have grown out of it by now

Thought I’d open up and sense would pour out

Hoped I’d come to like the things I should

So I prayed to God, it was no good

I like dancing alone

I like swimming offshore

And I’d like to move, to move with you

But I’m dancing alone

Faces seem to multiply so fast

And they melt and morph to faces past

And I don’t like to leave without goodbye

But I do it anyway, I don’t know why

I don’t like dancing alone

Don’t like running for home

And I’d like to move, to move with you

But I’m dancing alone

The current pulls me away

I grab my coat and run to where it’s safe

And if I leave before I should

You’re free to follow into the undergrowth

We’ll get lost, we'll get lost, we'll get lost

I like dancing alone

I like swimming offshore

I like dancing, not running

I like dancing alone, alone, alone
