Electric Dance
I'm alone in my room again
Blonde fringe all blowing in the breeze
There's that haunting sound again
A grey sound like a chicken in the trees
3 am, best go to bed
But I hear voices in my head
They make me do some random things I don't profess to understand
I get a queasy feeling in my solar plexus
Mouth opens wide like a Tyrannosaurus Rex's
I start to swing and I adopt a funny stance
Then I realise I'm doing the Electric Dance
I stand alone surveying
The European ruins in the rain
The smashed up bars and colonnades
I guess I won't be drinking absinthe again
Do you want to be like me?
Let go of your security
Don't be afraid of me, just do exactly as I say
I sway from side to side and swagger like a smoothie
Don't like me doing it though, do they? Don't they? Do they?
You may be sceptical and look at me askance
But tomorrow you'll be doing the Electric Dance
They'll do it in La Rue, they'll do it in Die Strasse
They'll do it in das Haus, la maison and la Casa
All over Europe, they will fall into a trance
And behave the jerky swing of the Electric Dance
I was young and I was so naïve
But now I'm not
I know everything
Here come the Chinese clowns
Here come the Chinese ladies
Here comes the dragon on a stick, yeah
He's howling, he's howling at the moon
Electric Dancing like a tin baboon
Marched into Belgium and we casually destroyed it
Felt slightly guilty but we secretly enjoyed it
We'll conquer Poland, Russia, Portugal and France
We're the Holy Living Gods of the Electric Dance
I'll burn the future down like fire on a flambé
March through apocalyptic ruins like a zombie
Your eyes light up in terror watching me advance
For I am the Leaping Lord of the Electric Dance
