It ends the way that it began
In a long-forgotten dream
Sleepwalking through a wall into an endless maze
That winds its way towards a silver screen
You appear before my eyes
Have we been here before, I wonder as you smile
And take me by the hand and lead me through the crowd
The blinding lights come on

Dancing like nobody is watching us
Loving again, as though we've never been hurt
Singing like nobody is listening
Watching the world around us as it turns

Outside it's bedlam in the streets
Counting down the final hours
When the preacher on the corner says the end is near
So all the drinks are on the house
A cataclysm of fire and ice
Seen the film a thousand times
As you turn towards me I take you by the hand
The sky begins to fall and everyone has gone

Dancing like nobody is watching us
Loving although it's the end of the Earth
Singing like nobody is listening
Watching the world around us as it burns

I wake in wonder on this spinning rock that's circling the Sun
I reach out for my telephone but I don't dare to switch it on
I feel the ground beneath me shaking but I put our record on

Dancing like nobody is watching us
Loving although we're at the end of the Earth
Singing like nobody is listening
As we sit and watch the world as it burns

As we sit and watch the world as it burns
As we sit and watch the world as it burns
