Scarlett lips, a silk embrace

But there's no laughter in her face

A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies



A wicked smile a shifting glance

The passion light you feel at last

Her pleasure somehow eased the pain

Too late to chance it all again



(bridge)

Before we kiss the world goodbye

It's only a breath away

One more dance before you die

So tender as the music plays



(chorus 1)

There's no emotion

Only passion in your crime

Killing the love that drives you out of your mind

When you dance with a stranger



A spinning room a cool caress

A try to hide my loneliness

Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by



The hollow mask has disappeared

We drown our love through salty tears

We speed at night like a racing car

And now I see you as you really are



(bridge)



(chorus 2)

There's no emotion

Only passion in your crime

Love is the last thing on your mind

When you dance with a stranger



Dance...

Dance with a stranger

Dance...



(bridge)



(chorus 2)



(chorus 3)

Watching and waiting

For the moment to arrive

Dance with a stranger

Love is the last thing on your mind

When you dance with a stranger



(chorus 2 ad lib)
