Dancing Through Sunday

AFI · I Heard A Voice (Live From Long Beach Arena) [2007]

Will you join me in this dance

This dance with misery?

Cradled in imposs-, impossibility

Swooning, I am swept away

Swept off my feet and

With step-by-step

We take the lead

As drop-by-drop we start to bleed.

(Chorus)

Oh we dance in misery

And we dance on

And we dance on

Oh we dance in misery

All lost in the arms of our 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 separate,

While breath-by-breath I suffocate.

Oh we dance in misery

And we dance on

And we dance on

Oh we dance in misery

All lost in the arms of our 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 is the 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.

I swear

Oh we dance in misery

And we dance on

And we dance on

Oh we dance in misery

All lost in the arms of our misery oh

Oh we dance in misery

And we dance on

And we dance on

Swept off our feet by misery

We're swept to shadows
