(SpringfieldPierce)

Everybody looks so spaced out there

Busy bowing to the priests of noise

Turn it up and make it drown out the warning

Bad news for the girls and boys

Everybody looks so romantic

Acting like it's nothing at all

Looking for Number One

Working for the week and

Living to the beat



[Chorus:]

Dance this world away

Dance this world away

Dance this world away

Dance this world away



I see people all dressed like Nero

Fiddling while Rome burns in strife

Personal responsibility zero, we've lost that rhythm of life

There's a shadow on our bright horizon

It won't be manna falling out of the sky

The hard rain hits everyone

Working for the week and

Living to the beat



[Chorus]



Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking

Why do I think that nobody knows

Looking out for Number One

Working through the week and

Dancing to the back beat



[Chorus]
