Lyrics:

Dance this World Away'
by Rick Springfield
from TAO
(c) 1985 RCA records

Every body looks so spaced out there
busy bowing to the priest of noise
turn it up and make it down out the wrning
bad news for the girls and boys
every looks so romantic
acting like it's nothing at all
Look out for Number One

Chorus: 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 burn in strife
personal responsbiltiy zero
we've lost that rhythm of life
there a shadow on our bright horizon
I won't be manna falling out of the sky
the hard rain hits everyone

Chorus

Somewhere this is a ship that's sinking
why do I think that nobody knows
looking out for Number One

Chorus to end
