I see a graveyard's past

the revolution's taken back

whatever happened to the sons

no more sunshine here

only darkness here

there's no-one living in this town



cause the dead are dancing

the dead are dancing

the dead are dancing

in the town



mother mary comes to me

in this graveyard of hypocricy

but father renta says I'll have to pay

in the dead are buried lies

a sinful phantom cries

can't we just rest up on the hill



but the moonlight calls us

the moon, it calls us

up and out into the town

yes, the dead are dancing

the dead are dancing

the dead are dancing

in the town



heaven does it come to me

in the dreaming that my soul's been freed

and the torment of my madness gone away

and though god says he loves

and I, I think of love

i cannot change the way I am



and so the moon, it calls me

the lunatic calls me

up and out into the town

yes, the dead are dancing

the dead are dancing

the dead are dancing

in the town
