[Verse 1]
You're wound up, crazy eyes
Can't help but fantasize
She's not free, but that's alright
It's a dangerous appetite
Blindfolded, spun around
She's got you crawling on the ground
Her snakebite will pull you down
To the red lights in this town

[Chorus]
It's a desperate dance
Do it now or never
It's a desperate dance
Time to pull the trigger
It's a desperate dance
Your chance is now to shake your feathers
It's a desperate dance
A desperate dance

[Verse 2]
In the fade, the lights go out
You get lost in the hungry crowd
Bodies pressed, you bounce and sway
Sweat slides across your face
[Chorus]
It's a desperate dance
Do it now or never
It's a desperate dance
Time to pull the trigger
It's a desperate dance
Your chance is now to shake your feathers
It's a desperate dance
A desperate dance

[Bridge]
Then you lose your head
Then you lose your head
Lose your head
Lose your head

[Chorus]
It's a desperate dance
Do it now or never
It's a desperate dance
Time to pull the trigger
It's a desperate dance
Your chance is now to shake your feathers
It's a desperate dance
A desperate dance
A desperate dance
A desperate dance
