This is the planet Earth
A home of the human race, our home
Here on the surface of this cloudy planet you'll die
Our families, our friends are working, playing, living, dying
Eating, drinking, getting married, being born
Laughing, dancing, singing
Worrying, sometimes weeping
All on the outside of our sole star
Girl
There in the dark
See, round here they dance too slow
And you dance too fast for them
Like a lightning flash to them
On your own
Spin around
Cross the floor
Girl
There on your own
I see you spin straight through the arms
Who want to keep you here with them
Drag you down with them
They don't know
Spin away
Through the world
(Mmm-mmm)
Look at the sky tonight it's yours
Above our fears, above our flaws
The music plays the same for
Everyone
Up high there where the dance begins
The swinging stars and the yet to spin
Swim right up as you dance with them
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
World
Alone in the dark
There's a long, long way to go
And you spin too fast for us
Like a lightning flash for us
Then we're gone
Spinning on
Through it all
So
Above is below
And no matter how deep we go
Everything just moves the same
The music plays one way
For us all
And there's nothing wrong
Just feet on the floor
(One, two, three, four)
Look at the sky tonight it's yours
Above our fears, above our flaws
The music plays the same for
Everyone
Up high there where the dance begins
The swinging stars and the yet to spin
Swim right up as you dance with them
And they will dance with you
Because it's all they can do
When the lies that you and I
Are what it's really all about
When every time around
Only slows you down
First they swing you round
Then they pull you down
They never only wanna dance with you!
It's just a stage to get through!
Just a creature that cries out loud at the stars that
Dance above
Well some call back with love
And some stars just fall
Some stars just fall
They never only wanna dance with you!
It's just a stage to get through!
Just a creature that cries out loud at the stars that
Dance above
Well some call back with love
And some stars just fall
Some stars just fall
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh (Above, below)
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh (Above, below)
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
O-o-ohh, o-ohh, oh oh o-oh
