Ultravox - We Came to Dance (extended version) lyrics

We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time Standing As the parade goes pa**ing by I hear a voice around me cry Like the sound of distant drums Rejected and alone A heart without a home And someone said We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time We came to dance Waiting As the panic grips my hand Hearing prose from high command Like a million times before No dignity or grace It's the prize and not the race And someone said We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time We came to dance We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away "Take what you can," they said. "Take it while you may But keep in mind The penalty fits the crime And it deals no softened blow." We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time We came to dance Making moves from a pa**ion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time
