We Came To Dance lyrics

Song information

Artist: Ultravox
Album: Quartet

Lyrics

Chorus :

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away
We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time

Standing as the parade goes passing by
I hear a voice around me cry
Like the sound of distant drums
Rejected and alone
A heart without a home
And someone said..

(Chorus)

We came to dance

Waiting as the panic grips my hand
Hearing prose from high command
Like a million times before
No dignity or grace
It's the prize and not the race
And someone said..

(Chorus)

We came to dance

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

"Take what you can" they said
Take it while you may
But keep in mind the penalty fits the crime
And it deals no softened blow

(Chorus - repeat 3 times and fade)
