The Ballroom Songtext
von John Tams

Cinderella goes dancing tonight
She′s got reasons of her own
But it's easy to see, you can take it from me
She won′t go home alone
She knows there's a face in the crowd
Who will wait by her side
Greedy or lean, greasy or clean
He's got nowhere to hide

Casanova′s got style, you can tell
He′s dressed to impress
From the cut of his mane to his golden neck chain
He's a picture of shabby success
If only his pockets would stretch
As well as his jeans
The money′s all gone but the show must go on
He's got the ways but he′s not got the means


And they're dancing at the Golden Ballroom
Where the crystal mirrors shine
Dancing just to keep in motion
Dancing just to stay in time

Sweet Violet, she clings to the wall
Where the shadows descend
And as the music gets loud, she is lost in the crowd
She talks to her fictional friend
She keeps herself to herself
As she laughs all alone
You may think it′s sad but it isn't so bad
At least she knows who'll be walking her home

And they′re dancing at the Golden Ballroom
Where the crystal mirrors shine
Dancing just to keep in motion
Dancing just to stay in time

And they′re dancing at the Golden Ballroom
Where the crystal mirrors shine
Dancing just to keep in motion
Dancing just to stay in time


And they dance till the deals are made
Dance till the debts are paid
Dance till the plans are laid
Safe in the night
Dance till the chance is gone
Dance till the deals are done
Dance till the dawn comes on
Afraid of the light
Dancing till the deals are made
Dancing till the debts are paid
Dancing till the plans are laid
Safe in the night
Dancing till the chance is gone
Dancing till the deals are done
Dancing till the dawn comes on
Afraid of the light

Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
