[Verse 1: Joe Goddard]
Here comes the evil men
Pray for their lives to end
Slash their gaudy thrones
Dance upon their bones

[Verse 2: Alexis Taylor]
I come easy with my wheezing organ
Try my best to make the moment awesome
If you remember now to tread with caution
I'll make your body speak in full distortion
I can't sleep at night, I fear death's warning
I keep afloat, I hope it tides so cautious
Somebody dragged me here on back of wild horses
But now I'm woozy and my heart is nauseous

[Chorus: Alexis Taylor]
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance

[Post-Chorus: Alexis Taylor & Joe Goddard]
You can't win
With this freedom, this freedom, is this freedom?
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
With this freedom, this freedom, is this freedom?
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
With this freedom, this freedom, is this freedom?
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
With this freedom, this freedom, is this freedom?
[Verse 3: Joe Goddard]
Love has left, love has left, love has gone away from here
What is left in its place? Only our aching fear
Who can see? Who can see? Is there an exit here?
I believe, I believe we will leave this fear

[Chorus: Alexis Taylor]
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
You can't dance
