The Dead Dance Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Like the words of a song, I hear you call

Like a thief in my head, you criminal

You stole my thoughts before I dreamed them

And you killed my queen with just one pawn

[Pre-Chorus]

This goodbye is no surprise

This goodbye won't make me cry

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead

Dancin' until I'm dead, I'm dancin' until I'm dead

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive

Yeah, the music's gonna bring mе back from death

I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'll dancе until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

[Verse 2]

You've created a creature of the night

Now I'm haunting your air, your soul, your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

This goodbye is no surprise (Is no surprise)

This goodbye won't make me cry

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead

Dancin' until I'm dead, I'm dancin' until I'm dead

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive

Yeah, the music's gonna bring me back from death

I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

[Bridge]

Do the dead dance (Dead)

The dead dance

Do the dead dance (Dead)

The dead dance

Do the dead dance (Dead)

The dead dance

Do the dead dance (Dead)

But l'm alive on the dance floor

[Chorus]

And I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'm dancin' until l'm dead, I'm dancin' until I'm dead

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'll dance until I'm dead

'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive

Yeah, the music's gonna bring me back from death

I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)

I'll dance until I'm dead
