[Verse 1]
Love is not a toy
Fragile girls and boys
Gather beating hearts
Shattered work of art

[Pre-Chorus]
I was afraid of the love that you asked for
You asked for
You were the light in my eyes; you're the answer
The answer

[Chorus]
The fire in you is long gone
It burned too bright, like the red sun
The child in me
Is elsewhere (Elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)

On the dance floor, oh, oh, oh...

[Verse 2]
Love is not a choice
(All of the kids on the dance floor)
Wasted girls and boys
(Let us be free on the dance floor)
[Pre-Chorus]
I was afraid of the love that you asked for
You asked for
You were the light in my eyes; you're the answer
The answer

[Chorus]
The fire in you is long gone
It burned too bright, like the red sun
The child in me
Is elsewhere (Elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)

On the dance floor, oh, oh, oh...

[Bridge]
(Elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)
On the dance floor, oh, oh, oh, oh, ah!
(Elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)
On the dance floor, oh, oh, oh, oh, mm...

[Pre-Chorus]
I was afraid of the love that you asked for
You asked for
You were the light in my eyes; you're the answer
The answer
[Chorus]
The fire in you is long gone
It burned too bright, like the red sun
The child in me
Is elsewhere (Elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)

On the dance floor, oh, oh, oh...

[Outro]
The child in me is elsewhere
On the dance floor
The child in me is elsewhere
On the dance floor..
