"The Crystal Ballroom (12" Mix)"

Life begins with the first glance
The first kiss and the first dance
All of us are wondering why we're here
In the crystal ballroom underneath the chandelier

Wet the glass till the glasses sing
We punish our hearts till the heart bells ring
Cause where we come from we're not always kind
The human soul is what love leaves behind

We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
We're the ghosts of love in every face
In the ballroom of the crystal lights
Everyone's here with me tonight
Everyone but you

Our first chance is their last dance
Our life is shaped by another's hands
Buttoning unbuttoning her Coco dress
Stopping and unstopping every cold caress

Born for bliss, born for this
Every human life begins with a kiss
Kissed by every kind of possibility
And everyone is here tonight with me

We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
We're the ghosts of love in every face
In the ballroom of the crystal lights
Everyone's here with me tonight

Everyone but you

Everybody's here with me tonight
Everybody's here with me but you
Everybody's here with me but you
Everybody's here with me but you
Everybody's here with me but you

Buttoning unbuttoning her Coco dress

We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
We're the ghosts of love
We're the ghosts of love

We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
We're the ghosts of love in every face
...the ballroom of the crystal light

Born for bliss
Born for this
Every human life begins with a kiss

Born for bliss
Born for this, lay down your life
And give me a kiss

Ghosts of love
Born for this, lay down your life
And give me a kiss

Buttoning unbuttoning her Coco dress

Born for bliss, born for this
Every human life begins with a kiss
