Janis Ian
Will You Dance? (Live, 2003)
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Someone is dying
Panic in the streets can't get no release
Someone escaping
Waiting on a line for the holy revolution
Parading illusion
Someone's using
Most amusing

[Chorus]
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Smell of caviar and roses
Teach your children all the poses
How familiar are we all
Will you dance?
Will you dance?
Light fantastic in the morning
How romantic to be whoring
Boring though it may be
Who'll survive
If you and I should fall?
[Accordion Solo]

[Verse 3]
Someone is bleeding
Crimson in the night, strangers in the light
A sudden meeting
Greeting one by one, every life runs flashing
Before those dashing eyes

[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
Stop
