(Springfield/Pierce)
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]
