I'm standing in the city light
To let it fill up my mind
With highways running up and down
Hypocrisy all around
I can't believe we've this far
Now everything is for change
And nothing's ever too bizarre
This is a momentary range
Oooohh
But I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing for my life
Cause I can feel your heartbeat
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing for my life
You know, I'm dying to stay alive
It's on the news and TV-shows
And in the blink of an eye
It's playing on the radio
And crawling up through my spine
Today will always radiate
A smell of poisonous fume
When everything breaking down
You've got a choice to make it new
Oooohh
But I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing for my life
Cause I can feel your heartbeat
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing for my life
You know, I'm dying to stay alive
It's getting harder and harder to breathe
Time is running out
So help me to survive
I'm dying to stay alive
Ooooohh, oooh, oooh, ooooh
I, I, I...
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing for my life
Cause I can feel your heartbeat
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing, oh oh oh
I'm just gonna be dancing for my life
You know, I'm dying to stay alive
I'm just gonna be dancing
Oooh, yeah, yeah
I'm dying to stay alive
