I dance this dance
Oh what a terrific dance,
A dance which will never truly end,
A dance to the tune of Life,

I dance with different partners through out
each with their presence flitting
their touch only grazing,
a dance to the tune of life,

I dance for the spectators umpteen,
for to with their applause,
does life's tempo resound,
a dance to the tune of life,

I dance with a mask,
one of happiness profound,
one that dare not slip for this is
a dance to the tune of life,

I dance though I tire
without a moments respite
my feet must keep moving to this
a dance to the tune of life

I grow weary with my arms leaden,
with a thousand caresses,
but never one which blesses during this
a dance to the tune of life

I search for that one
the one touch I can call my own
one which I can claim as my own during
a dance to the tune of life

I seem to be lost
just one among the crowd
who all seem to be dancing this dance
a dance to the tune of life

I seem to be destined to never stop
to never rest my feet
to never just let go as I must dance this dance
a dance to the tune of life

I must never let slip my mask
never lay a foot out of line
for I am bound to this
a dance to the tune of life

I am to remain the performer
damned to dance forever
never to stop this dance
a demonic dance to the tune of life
with a smiling mask
a crying face
and applause the only sign of respite
for the show must always go on
and this is one which will never stop to flow
as after all it is
a dance,
a dance to the tune of life
