Invitations aren’t always sent by mail
Some disappear leaving ghost trails
Ah, but you’re too cool for it all
Dressing for the ball
Such silly customs you protest alone
But even something inside says go
You find a partner and tend to smile
Frightened by your joy after while
It defines what you want and more
Reminds you what you want it for
The dance
Waltzing you into a trance
The dance
Making you feel defiantly real
The dance
Waltzing you into a trance
The dance
Making you feel undeniably real
How come we don’t dance no more?
How come we never danced before?
Ordinary people reaching for the divine
The beat of your heart syncopating with mine
To reach the light we struggle and strain
Strive, then struggle all over again
Hamsters on a wheel never touch the ground
When you’re in motion it’s hard to slow down
It defines what you want and more
Reminds you what you want it for
The dance
Waltzing you into a trance
The dance
Making you feel defiantly real
The dance
Waltzing you into a trance
The dance
Making you feel undeniably real
And just as you feel the feeling starting to grow
You may find yourself dancing alone
Resist the urge to run from the floor
We must dance more
Creatures are glaring, they stare at us
“So graceful, so violent all at once”
And if you’re tired of cliche affair
We can swing from the chandelier
It defines what you want and more
Reminds you what you want it for
The dance
Waltzing you into a trance
The dance
Making you feel defiantly real
The dance
Waltzing you into a trance
The dance
Making you feel undeniably real
