Dance (To the Ticking of Time) [Single Edit]

Tommy found a gun in the back garden I found some change in my back pocket So, we walk to the pub, yeah, we can still find it Pause the re-run of Stoke, rewind and restart it We can gamble still, but with our lives Against a death of hope, yeah, a journey that’s bright Now, I’m no gambling man, I’ll fight the fight And we sing an anthem, into the night We’re gonna dance Dance to the ticking of time Thirty seconds left, that’s fine That’s long enough to make you mine We’re gonna dance Dance ‘till the end of time I can hear the screams of lives Of those who won’t survive My nails are dirty, but I feel fine We’ve not been together for a long time And time is running out, who’s buying the next round? ‘Cause it was me last time, I’ll go again that’s fine And disposed waste surrounds us again And a drop of water is heaven-sent But we all knew this time was coming So, we need to believe in the power of loving We’re gonna dance Dance to the ticking of time Thirty seconds left, that’s fine That’s long enough to make you mine We’re gonna dance Dance ‘till the end of time I can hear the screams of lives Of those who won’t survive We all dance, and have a good time You sing along, imitating my rhyme I’ve got money to burn, I’ve got a lot to learn I’ve got experience, that you just can’t learn And ordinary people living ordinary lives Watching TV screens, digesting the lies Thinking we’re a lost cause, that we cannot fight But we can push forward, just give it time Dance to the ticking of time Thirty seconds left, that’s fine That’s long enough to make you mine We’re gonna dance Dance ‘till the end of time I can hear the screams of lives Of those who won’t survive
