Romancing the end of the world
We danced in suits outside,
Underneath the blue night sky
The stars and moon collide
"The world is ending," I whispered
"And we are going to die."
"I know," you said
"So let's keep dancing - be mine until we die."
People were crying and screaming
In fear for their lives
Then they saw us slowly dancing
And didn't care if they survived.
First two became four, then twenty more
Dancers joined our side
Until the whole world started dancing
Under the falling sky.
The stars and the moon began to fall
Burning us with no surprise
We kept on dancing until the end
We had never felt so alive.

Until the whole world started dancing
Under the falling sky.
The stars and the moon began to fall
Burning us with no surprise
We kept on dancing until the end
We had never felt so alive.
