[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is gone

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
What are you waiting for?
Answers that question more
Uninvited they will come
Are you expecting some?

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
Dance is... dance...
Dance is... dance...
Dance is... dance...
Dance is... dance is gone

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
You have seen better days
You have lived better ways

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
(Are you expecting some?) What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is...
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
You have seen better days
You have lived better ways

[Verse 4: Martin L. Gore]
Where are you heading to?
What plans will you pull through?
With trouble in the wings
Will you risk anything?

[Verse 5: Dave Gahan]
What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is-is-is...
What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is-is-is...

[Verse 6: Dave Gahan]
What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is gone
[Verse 7: Dave Gahan]
What are you hiding from? (What are you waiting for?)
You are part of the sum (Answers that question more)
What has been going on? (Uninvited they will come)
Your confidence is-is-is... (Are you expecting some?)

[Verse 8: Dave Gahan]
What are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is...
What- what are you hiding from?
You are part of the sum
What has been going on?
Your confidence is... what?

[Verse 9: Martin L. Gore]
Where are you heading to?
What plans will you pull through?
With trouble in the wings
Will you risk anything?

Dance is... dance...
Dance is... dance...
Dance is... dance...
Dance is... dance is gone
Dance... dance is...
Dance... dance is...
Dance... dance is...
Dance... dance is gone
