Roberts, Sam - Ritual Dance Lyrics






The Great War
1-9-1-4
Out on the floor getting hot
We were dancing the foxtrot
Oh! we didn't know it was a funeral dance
And a whole generation didn't know it was a last chance

And on the Eve of Armageddon
Back in those days in '37
We were swinging to the big bands
It was a Ritual Dance
When you push to the edge
And you're out of your head
You just dance

When it all comes down
When you're losing ground
When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
You just dance
When the sky turns red
When you're left for dead
When the whole world seems to go out of its head
You just dance

When I was young in '81
The Red Tide
Was coming on
We were finished with disco and doing the Apocalypse Dance
When you're waiting for the bomb and you're trying to get on
You just dance
The situation is hostile
Resistance is futile
So just dance
When you're pushed to the edge
And you're out of your head
You just dance

When it all comes down
When you're losing ground
When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
You just dance
When the sky turns red
When you're left for dead
When the whole world seems to go out of it's head
You just dance
We all know the song
And we all know the way that it ends
We all sing along
And the band plays it over again...

When you're waiting for the bomb and you're trying to get on
You just dance
When you're pushed to the edge
And you're out of your head
You just dance

When it all comes down
When you're losing ground
When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
You just dance
When the sky turns red
When you're left for dead
When the whole world seems to go out of it's head
You just dance
We all know the song
And we all know the way that it ends
We all sing along
And the band plays it over again...
