Dance this World Away"

by Rick Springfield

from TAO

(c) 1985 RCA records



Every body looks so spaced out there

busy bowing to the priest of noise

turn it up and make it down out the wrning

bad news for the girls and boys

every looks so romantic

acting like it's nothing at all

Look out for Number One



Chorus: working for the week and

living to the beat



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 burn in strife

personal responsbiltiy zero

we've lost that rhythm of life

there a shadow on our bright horizon

I won't be manna falling out of the sky

the hard rain hits everyone



Chorus



Somewhere this is a ship that's sinking

why do I think that nobody knows

looking out for Number One



Chorus to end
