Lyrics

Verse 1
There is nothing more to life than this
Just a little time to reminisce
And loop through thoughts
That rip your heart out

Although the sun is running out of light
We’ll be burning effigies tonight
As long as we can keep our guards down

Prechorus
You were a scorching spirit when you were young
Now you make cold calls and talk in tongues
La la la la la la

Chorus
Leaping into motion
But you're turning in place
Looking for someone to pass in the human race
You were rolling like an ocean
Now you’re lost in the fray
Take one false step and you might slip away
You were a dancer
Now you’re dancing on the edge of a knife

Verse 2
Now that you find yourself estranged
From all your fantasies of change
No great escape on the horizon

Prechorus
You used to shut them prigs up with a look
Now you're droning on like a babbling brook
La la la la la la

Chorus
Leaping into motion
Looking for someone to pass in the human race
You were rolling like an ocean
Now you’re lost in the fray
Take one false step and you might slip away
You were a dancer (BG: Dancing for your life)
Now you’re dancing on the edge of a knife
