Shock, shock, horror, horror
If you really thought that
Growing up would be easy
All that drama, drama
Can make you wanna, wanna
Lock your door and throw the key in

Hide away
Where you're safe
Where your heart
Doesn't break
You're afraid
It's okay
It's okay

Everybody's scared
So dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
Party with your fears
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance with the dark
Da—, dance in the dark

Everybody's scared
So dance in the dark
Make, make it an art
Da—, dance in the dark
Party with your fears
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance with the dark
Da—, dance in the dark

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark

You're hurting, hurting
Closing the curtains
Wanna keep it a secret
Can't keep it bottled
Pain is hard to swallow
You cross your heart without bleeding

Hide away
Where you're safe
Where your heart
Doesn't break
You're afraid
It's okay
It's okay

Everybody's scared
So dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
Party with your fears
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance with the dark
Da—, dance in the dark

Everybody's scared
So dance in the dark
Make, make it an art
Da—, dance in the dark
Party with your fears
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance with the dark
Da—, dance in the dark

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Da—, dance in the dark
(Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the, dance in the

Everybody's scared
So dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
Party with your fears
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance with the dark
Da—, dance in the dark

Everybody's scared
So dance in the dark
Make, make it an art
Da—, dance in the dark
Party with your fears
Da—, dance in the dark
Da—, dance with the dark
Da—, dance in the dark
