Bad Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And if the world is ending now
Then let's dance the bad dance
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
Well, don't just stand there
Why don't you follow me around?
My truth is slack and loose
My morals are unsound
But I'm amusing, I'm amazing, I'm impure
Dip your toes into the chaos
It'll feel just like a cure
And if the world is ending now
Then let's dance the bad dance
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
And if we're all going down in flames
Then let's dance the bad dance
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
Come over here and show me
That you crave a little more
Let me defang you
And defile you on the floor
Well, I'm indulgent, I'm impulsive, I'm profane
Doesn't matter how long you last
'Cause I have rigged the game
And if the world is ending now
Then let's dance the bad dance
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
And if we're all going down in flames
Then let's dance the bad dance
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
Be the weapon, be the love
Be the weapon, be the love
Be the weapon, be the love
Be the weapon, be the love
And if the world is ending now
Then let's dance the bad dance
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
And if we're all going down in flames
Then let's scream the bloody scream
We've been rehearsing our whole lives
