lyrics

we're once again surrounded by too many smiling people
but when we close our eyes we feel so empty and alone
we're like strangers , like actors... we're dancers!
And we're dancing all night...alone

passion , confidence , style , beauty , erotism , alcohol , drugs , money
let the dance begin !!

“stay with me my love , hold my hand forever
whisper in my ear the words i want to hear
dance with me my love , offer me another drink
we're strangers in love for one night
but this night will be long...
i hope it will be long...”

you're once again surrounded by the blinding lights of glory
you are the very important person of the night
and you're shining , you're flying , you're dreaming
and you're thinking “oh! my god , what a delight!!”
...but you're crying 'cause you know that you're dead inside


“dance with me my child , housewife , killer , lawyer
touch my body lover , i am out of my mind
tell me jokes and laugh!
Laugh as much as you like!
We're the dancing generation
but we don't know why we dance
please tell me why we dance?
Please tell me why we dance?”

...and as the night slowly slips away ,
the first rays of light appear in the sky ,
reveiling the samefulness of your naked bodies
dance now!! you fools...
