Young man with a stone to throw Take a breath and just let it go Angry man with a cross to bare Now you seem life just isn't fair Oh, let it go Cos, you wake up in happy days Face the music In your eyes you've made your bed Read what the papers say Your dancing days are over The smile on your face will never hide your shame You can't escape what they say Your dancing days are over The ghosts you see are shouting out your name Oh how you danced Oh how you sang There's a feeling here that you began Oh how you stood and stared Held onto every breath It seemed the world stood still Transfixed by every step Oh, let it go Cos a lesser man would be your crowd Captivation, lesser men will tear you down Read what the papers say Your dancing days are over The smile on your face will never hide your shame You can't escape what they say Your dancing days are over The ghosts you see are shouting out your name The ghosts you see are shouting out your name The very crowd demand it's not to blame The demi man celebrates his pain So glad to be with him through your pain Old man sings his final song And wonders where it all went wrong Read what the papers say Your dancing days are over The smile on your face will never hide your shame You can't escape what they say Your dancing days are over The ghosts you see are shouting out your name Read what the papers say Your dancing days are over The smile on your face will never hide your shame You can't escape what they say Your dancing days are over The ghosts you see are shouting out your name The ghosts you see are shouting out your name The very crowd demands it's not to blame The demi man celebrates his pain So glad to be with us through your pain
