"The Dance" lyrics

In the twilight
I go out and talk about them
In the twilight
We walk the roads thinking of ghosts and their half-closed eyes

There's a dance tonight
And everyone knows about it
In the sound tonight
Their shadows waltz and waltz around it

People say that we shouldn't talk the way we talk
We'll only end up scared
"Lights out now babies, don't let me find you out
With the ghosts tonight
Don't let me find you out with the ghosts tonight
In the twilight"

When they come back
They don't want to talk about it
But in the fading light
They stay awake and sing strange little songs about themselves

People say that we shouldn't talk the way we talk
We'll only end up scared
Eyes closed, maybe we'll sleep now we're safe and sound in the house tonight
Now that we're safe and sound in the house tonight
