Will You Dance lyrics by Janis Ian

Artist: Janis Ian
Title: Will You Dance
Composer: Janis Ian
================================

Someone is waiting
over by the window
just beyond the stairwell
someone's crying
Drowning in the words of
the prophets that are written
for the dead and the dying
Someone's lying
No one's buying

Someone is dying
Panic in the streets
Can get no release
Someone escaping
Waiting on the line
for the holy revolution
parading illusion
Someone's using
most amusing

Will you dance, will you dance
Smell the caviar and roses
Teach your children all the poses
How familiar we are

Will you dance, will you dance
Life fantastic in the morning
How romantic to be whoring
Boring though it may be
who survive
if you and I should fall

Someone is bleeding
Crimson in the night
Strangers in the light
a sudden meeting
Greeting one by one
every line from splashing
before those dashing eyes

Will you dance, will you dance
Take a chance on romance
and a big surprise

Will you dance, will you dance
Take a chance on romance
and a big surprise
