Will you join me in this dance of misery
   Cradled in impossibility?
   Swooning I am swept away
   So mark your feet, and step, step, step
   Who takes the lead?
   And that's the time we start to bleed
  
   Oh, we dance in misery
   And we dance on, and we dance on
   Oh, we dance in misery
   Lost in the arms of misery, oh
   Oh, we dance in misery
   And we dance on, and we dance on
   Swept off our feet by misery we're swept into shadows
  
   Will you lend yourself to beauty that will horrify?
   Let me hide within your black
   The still inside your eyes
   Deafened, caught within a cry so sensual
   As step-by-step, I seperate
   While breath-by-breath, I suffocate
  
   Oh, we dance in misery
   And we dance on, and we dance on
   Oh, we dance in misery
   Lost in the arms of misery, oh
   Oh, we dance in misery
   And we dance on, and we dance on
   Swept off our feet by misery
   We're swept into shadows
  
   So who will follow?
   Who will be lead?
   I know I'll leave a stain
   Because I bleed as we dance
   We all dance
   We all have no chance in this horrid romance
  
   Oh, we dance in misery
   And we dance on, and we dance on
   Oh, we dance in misery
   Lost in the arms of misery, oh!
   Oh, we dance in misery
   And we dance on, and we dance on
   Swept off our feet by misery
   We're swept into shadows
   Swept off our feet by misery
   We're swept into shadows
   Yeah
