Lyrics

An alley cat?s struttin?, as you draw up the blind
You gotta shake that dream that?s huggin? on your mind
You gotta let it go, before it catches you
You gotta do the dance, You gotta do the dance

The dawn light is knocking, another day in your face
A ghost voice is talking, as you trip in your haste
To out-run the madness, try and seek a safe place
You gotta do the dance, You gotta do the dance

The fears that you harbor are making a port in your storm
There is ice on your wings, you can?t fly where it?s warm
As you fall down from yourself, only to be caught in both hands
You gotta do the dance, You gotta do the dance

You?re wrapped up in glass like crystals of snow light
Haven?t you paid for your past, you?ve paid demons at midnight
And now, here at last, your own hands hold your heart-light
You gotta do the dance, You gotta do the dance

May you reap what you sow, a voice screams in your head
As the alley cat suddenly is there, dead ahead
As your eyes look up together, did you hear what he said?
He said you better do the dance, you better do the dance
