It's no shot in the dark and no trick of the light you tease me taunt me talking dirty sitting pretty you lay me down and anoint my wounds dust up, bust up, let's get down to the nitty-gritty you call on favors promised and sworn changing names and changing places the blade digs deep and the cut begins to sting there's more to this than reason or the old familiar rhythm and rhyme take me shake me lead me to the floor and hey let's swing
And the dance goes on and the dance goes on and on and the dance goes on and the dance goes on and on and on and on
We're going up in flames we're burning up in a blaze of glory don't put fire into the hands of the weak and faint, the weak and frail tripping the light fantastic let's celebrate our great escape for goodness sake, it's all the same the sinner and saint, heaven and hell
And the dance goes on and the dance goes on and on and the dance goes on and the dance goes on and on and on and on
