Ricky Springfield –dancing this world away

Everybody looks so spaced out here
Busy bowing to the priest of noise
Turn it up and make it drown out the woming
Bad news for the boys and girls
Everybody looks so romantic
Acting like it’s nothing at all
Looking out for number one
Working for the week and
Living to the beat

Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away

I see people all dressed like Nero
Fiddling with Rome burns in strife
Personal responsibility zero
We’ve lost the rhythm of life
There’s shadow on our bright horizon
It won’t be manna falling out of sky
The hard rain hits everyone
Working for the week and
Living to the beat

Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away

Somewhere there is a ship that’s sinking
Why do I think that nobody knows
Looking out for number one
Work through the week and
Dancing to the back beat

Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away to fade
