Dancing Lyrics by Bauhaus

Mask

1981

[Verse 1]
Dancing on hot tiles
Dancing on tenterhooks
Dancing down church aisles
Dancing on holy books
Dancing on crocodiles
Dancing on hallowed ground
Dancing Nijinsky style
Dancing with the lost and found

[Verse 2]
Dancing on rock 'n' roll's grave
Dancing on burning coals
Dancing on 'Jesus saves,' ah
Dancing with old scratch soul
Dancing on flick knives
Dancing a stiletto groove
Dancing our nine lives away
Dancing in the Louvre, oh
Louvre, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
Dancing in catacombs
Dancing in tuxedo drag
Dancing in dark rooms
Dancing on all your flags
Dancing in the Vatican
On the papal gown
On the taxman
On the crown

[Outro]
We're dancing to the dark side of this tune
We're dancing to the dark side of this tune
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
