Lady Gaga - The Dead Dance Lyrics

Lady Gaga Lyrics

"The Dead Dance"
(from "Wednesday: Season 2" soundtrack)

Like the words of a song, I hear you call
Like a thief in my head, you criminal
You stole my thoughts before I dreamed them
And you killed my queen with just one pawn

This goodbye is no surprise
This goodbye won't make me cry

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead
Dancin' until I'm dead, I'm dancin' until I'm dead
Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)
'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive
Yeah, the music's gonna bring me back from death
I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

You've created a creature of the night
Now I'm haunting your air, your soul, your eyes

This goodbye is no surprise (Is no surprise)
This goodbye won't make me cry

Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead
Dancin' until I'm dead, I'm dancin' until I'm dead
Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)
'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive
Yeah, the music's gonna bring me back from death
I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'll dance until I'm dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

Do the dead dance (Dead)
The dead dance
Do the dead dance (Dead)
The dead dance
Do the dead dance (Dead)
The dead dance
Do the dead dance (Dead)
But l'm alive on the dance floor

And I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'm dancin' until l'm dead, I'm dancin' until I'm dead
Yeah, I'll keep on dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'll dance until I'm dead
'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive
Yeah, the music's gonna bring me back from death
I'm dancin' until I'm dead (Dead)
I'll dance until I'm dead

Dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead)

"The Dead Dance" is a part of the soundtrack to the second season of the Netflix show "Wednesday" where Lady Gaga appears as a guest character Rosaline Rotwood during the second part of the season. She announced the song's release date (the 3rd of September, 2025) at the Wednesday Graveyard Gala on the 28th of August, 2025. Fans got to hear the song for the first time during the event.

The accompanied music video for this song was directed by Tim Burton himself. "I had a wonderful time working on 'Wednesday' season two, even just being a small part of the show. I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna, and everyone here. It's so incredible." told Lady Gaga at the "Wednesday" season two premiere.

According to Lady Gaga "The inspiration for 'The Dead Dance' was a breakup, and it was all about the way that we sometimes feel when it's over; how a relationship ending can kill our ability to feel hopeful about love. It's got this really cool, funky beat underneath it. And that is when the song becomes not just about the relationship; it becomes about having fun with your friends when you've been through something tough and amazing."
