Rick Springfield: Dance this world away [lyrics]

Rick Springfield

Dance this world away

Everybody looks so spaced out there 

Busy bowing to the priests of noise 

Turn it up and make it drown out the warning 

Bad news for the girls and boys 

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

CHORUS

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 burns in strife 

Personal responsibility zero

We've lost that rhythm of life 

There's a shadow on our bright horizon 

It won't be manna falling out of the sky 

The hard rain hits everyone 

Working for the week and living to the beat

CHORUS

Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking 

Why do I think that nobody knows 

Looking out for number one 

Working through the week and dancing to the back beat

CHORUS
