They can come take it all away
   Break you heart by the light of day
   Drown your love in a distant bay so lonely
  
   See the ships heading for the rocks
   See the time melting over the clocks
   There's a light shadows all the rocks that saves me
   It saves me
  
   That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
   On the night wind that takes me just where I want
   That's all I want
   La Vie Dansante
  
   Miss the beat if you close your eyes
   Every night wears a new disguise
   And I live when a new surprise surrenders
  
   Feel it all with a willing heart
   Every stop, there's a place to start
   If you know how to play the part with feeling
   I play with feeling
  
   Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
   On the night wind that takes you just where you want
   That's all you want
  
   La Vie Dansante
  
   That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
   On the night wind that takes me just where I want
   That's all I want
   La Vie Dansante
