Dance and Sing

Got to keep on going like it ain't the end
 Got to change like your life is depending on it
 It's a long time coming, and we're taking it in
 What a wild ruse
 See the cold moon hanging like the pennant above
 Too many ice cream socials with the promise ring love
 Had to shoot all the targets at the carnival 'cause
 You needed hard proof
 I read God is dead I shed some tears for him
 But I swear on His grave, I'll never do it again
 And I screamed when I realized what was happening
 That I had good news
 I'll grieve
 What I have lost
 Forgive the firing squad
 How imperfect life can be
 Now all I can do
 Is just dance on through
 See the Coast Guard coming, save the drowning men
 Out by Catalina island, they abandoned ship
 All the news trucks piled up with starts and fits
 Coming from Point Doom
 It's the last ditch effort, makes no sense to try
 Put more gas on the tires, put more wood on the fire
 Warm your hands up 'cause we'll probably be here a while
 If you want the honest truth
 Don't turn
 Your cheek away
 Please, don't resuscitate
 Make an example out of me
 'Cause all I can do
 Is just dance on through
 And sing
 ♪
 Got a diamond cold heart, and I got it in spades
 With the walkman fading like an audio slave
 It's a self-induced seizure like a kid at a rave
 Smeared in Day-Glo paint
 And all the popular prophets want to take me to task
 Well, it's just your opinion, so I'd rather not ask
 But I got me a cane, and I'm spinning it fast
 As the band plays
 Don't read
 My worried mind
 That smoking gun
 Passing through time
 I'm yours
 You can decide
 What fate I'll have
 On the firing line
 Because now all I can do
 Is just dance on through
 And sing
 With every note there is
 With every note there was
 Each passing chord
 There was only love
 (With every) With every step there is
 With every step that was
 Spinning around
 There was only love
 Only love
 Only love
 It was a slow dance for us
 There was only love
