lyrics

i'm not pointing any fingers or mentioning last names | occasionally the rituals we perform are really strange | there are men in bars laughing at their vodka | it is dawn of the dead looking up the reeperbahn | you don't want to be in vegas when you feel like some chicago | some cities are like church, few understand but many go | i see a flock of angels, not quite a murmuration | if we dance like that then this will be some celebration || don't think don't speak just keep moving to the beat | i fantasise you love me while you're dancing with me | hold onto me and you might never see you are dancing with an elephant ballerina || some bet on winners, some bet someone's going to lose | and if you never gamble you don't get the one you choose | i'm people watching people, people watching, watching me | and caitlin broke her heel so she gave her shoes to steve | now steve's got dainty feet so he put on the high heels | and he's mincing round with kyle and they open gangnam style | everyone you meet are the only things that are really real | you always cry when you say goodbye, i wish i could feel . . . . . feel that loudly || don't think don't speak just keep moving to the beat | i fantasise you love me while you're dancing with me | hold onto me and you might never see you are dancing with an elephant ballerina || you do the macarena with your girlfriends when you're drunk and i'm laughing in the middle, i am shaking peanuts in my trunk and i'd love to dance with you although i really can't | but it's taking part that matters and it looks good in my heart | it looks good in my heart | we're shouting at the dj because the music stopped | and the dj's looking ashen, he's turning every knob he's got | and the music comes back louder than it's ever been before | there's a hundred michael jackson zombies filling the dance floor | and i am singing to my bottle because it's my microphone | i want find the chat to kiss you before you go home | and Laura's got a limpet clinging to her face | she said it's rude he grabbed her but he's hot so it's okay, he is hot so it's okay! || don't think don't speak just keep moving to the beat | i fantasise you love me while you're dancing with me | hold onto me and you might, you never see you are dancing with an elephant ballerina | you do the macarena with your girlfriends when you're drunk and i'm laughing in the middle, i am shaking peanuts in my trunk and i'd love to dance with you although i really can't | but it's taking part that matters and it looks good in my heart | it looks good in my heart | dance eye to eye with me and you might never see you are dancing with an elephant ballerina
