Lyrics

The sun has passed from overhead
Let the night come in, let the night walk through your door
For every sleep spent in our beds
We will push our feet so hard the room will tear

In a carnival of smiles our faces glow
Oh the dark can make us feel so bold
There's no cold can make us want to stay at home
Every doubt in turn explodes

We all could pass right through
We all have nothing left to lose

It's not the fire, nor the warm drink
That heats my heart and lifts my heavy legs
Your strong hand has kept me here
No I will not go, no I will not say goodnight

I was told this town's so small it would not grow
I was told that, here, I would feel alone
There's no cold, no snow can make us lose our souls
The light we shine at once we follow

We all could pass right through
We all have nothing left to lose

You know that this night's true
Oh no there's nothing left to lose
We're all alive as we tumble over hours
You pull my hand in closer our faces blur
There's nothing we have left we cannot share

So come on baby let's dance
Get your body in motion
I don't want this to end
I don't want to climb those stairs and go to bed
So lets dance
Get your body in motion
I don't want this to end
I don't want to climb those stairs and go to bed
So lets dance
Get your body in motion
I don't want this to end
I don't want to climb those stairs and go to bed
So lets dance
Get your body in motion
I don't want this to end
I don't want to climb those stairs and go to bed
So lets dance

-Meanwhile-
(Oh won't you please just try to dance with me tonight
Slide your left foot in, kick your right foot out
Swing your hip to the left, swing it all the way around
Bob your head back and forth, side to side, left then right
Shake it out)
