Get up you little bastard
Cheat me for a while
Pretend that you still love me
Then show me how you smile
Love is like a riddle
We're looking for the key
Come on you little bastard, lean on me

Sometimes I feel like running
From your tainted kiss
Cos when I'm not beside of you
Your kisses I won't miss
So tell me what you want of me
I see you from afar
Anything is better than a northern star

Shut up and dance
Come take your chance on me
Shut up and dance
Shut up
Don't you pick a fight on me
Please love me like it used to be

Take it away
Take it away
Find yourself a victim, another brand new toy
Find yourself a lover whom you can destroy
Find another fool, pick another fight
Your love to me is poison so get out of sight

Now everything is blurry the colours fade away
Summer feels like autumn and dark becomes the day
Everything's a mess and you won't take me out
I have to get away from you there's no doubt

Halt's Maul und tanz
Come take your chance on me
Shut up and dance
Shut up
Don't you pick a fight on me
Please love me like it used to be

Sometimes I hear a lovely
Tune of a distant past
And then my heart remembers
How it all used to be

Sometimes I hear a lovely
Tune of a distant past
And then my heart remembers
How it all used to be
Used to be
Shut up and dance
Come take your chance on me
Shut up and dance
Shut up
Don't you pick a fight on me
Please love me like it used to be

Shut up and dance
Come take your chance on me
Shut up and dance

Don't you pick a fight on me
Please love me like it used to be

Take it away
