[Verse 1]
You dangle and you doddle like the days that drift on by
Put your pride as beside as you can
Don't be deaf on the decks, don't you drink your whiskey dry
You'll decay like the trees in the autumn

[Chorus]
Dancer on the ceiling, you're dancing wrong
I guess you'll go topping a feeling, that's lowly, drive away
You're flying
There ain't no denying, 'til the fading dawn
I guess you're bound to walk along the lonesome road

[Verse 2]
It's all from the disappearance of the way you simply smile
When it's all just some times you have to pass
The road will help the roaders and the rest will stay behind
Baby, don't, don't you drink your whiskey dry

[Chorus]
Dancer on the ceiling, you're dancing wrong
I guess you'll go topping a feeling, that's lowly, drive away
You're flying
There ain't no denying, 'til the fading dawn
I guess you're bound to walk along the lonesome road
[Outro]
Dancer on the ceiling, you're dancing wrong
Dancer on the ceiling, you're dancing wrong
Said, just that dancer on the ceiling, you're dancing wrong
