lyrics

had a crazy thought
what if you and i
just up and drove away
to somewhere else
where we are the strangers out of place

dress for all occasions
we might not make it back
for the longest of times
if at all
there's nothing left for us here

please take my hand
i'll dance us to death
in the loudness of the night
where mornings are bright
if we don't sleep on through

dance dance dance
dance us to death tonight
our secrets and our hurt
best we forget tonight
i know it was easier
when we were not wise

please take my hand
i'll dance us to death
in the loudness of the night
where mornings are bright
like when we were not wise
