Time ticking by, ticking by, ticking by
Put into a dance, but do you know why?
You hope and pray, that the music doesn’t slow
But when it will stop, you can never really know
And you will find others in the same dance as you
Ask them why, but they haven’t got a clue
Some will try to find a meaning in the tune
While others put their faith in a rising moon
Why dance alone when you can dance with company
Why be afraid when you can pretend not to be
As the song plays, it may get trite
But you want to live forever, right (right)
And your dance will end as with the night
Faith flying high, flying high, flying high
Vested in him, what does that imply
The dance will end with the same effect
It doesn’t really matter whether I step right or left
Puff, puff, puff, do you feel low on breath
Fiddle of life, fiddle of death
The meter picks up, yet your feet are stone
Your body lags as you hear it groan
Why dance alone when you can dance with company
Why be afraid when you can pretend not to be
As the song plays, it may get trite
But you want to live forever, right (right)
And your dance will end as with the night
Only a "we" can say a song is sweet
Music to their ears, hell to their feet
So why oh why do we dance for them
But I refuse, to pretend
That from this dance I may ever rest
When the song ceases I will not protest
I doubt it was yours, I doubt it was mine
It could have been taken at any time
