Rick Springfield Dance This World Away Lyrics

Everybody looks so spaced out there

Busy blowing to the priests of noise.
Turn it up and make it drown out the warning

Bad news for the girls and boys.
Everybody looks so romantic

Acting like it's nothing at all.
Looking out for number one

Working for the week and living to the beat.

Dance this world away - dance this world away -
Dance this world away - dance this world away.

I see people all dressed like Nero

Fiddling while Rome burns in strife.
Personal responsibility zero
we've lost that rhythm of life.
There's a shadow in our bright horizon

It won't be manna falling out of the sky.
The hard rain hits everyone

Working for the week and living to the beat.
Dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .
Dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .

Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking

Why do I think that nobody knows?
Looking out for number one

Working through the week and dancing to the back beat.

Dance
dance

dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .
Dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .
Dance - dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .
Dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .
Dance this world away - dance this world away - . . .
Dance!
