I see a graveyard's past
the revolution's taken back
whatever happened to the sons
no more sunshine here
only darkness here
there's no-one living in this town
cause the dead are dancing
the dead are dancing
the dead are dancing
in the town
mother mary comes to me
in this graveyard of hypocricy
but father renta says I'll have to pay
in the dead are buried lies
a sinful phantom cries
can't we just rest up on the hill
but the moonlight calls us
the moon, it calls us
up and out into the town
yes, the dead are dancing
the dead are dancing
the dead are dancing
in the town
heaven does it come to me
in the dreaming that my soul's been freed
and the torment of my madness gone away
and though god says he loves
and I, I think of love
i cannot change the way I am
and so the moon, it calls me
the lunatic calls me
up and out into the town
yes, the dead are dancing
the dead are dancing
the dead are dancing
in the town
