Heads We're Dancing

  • You talked me into the game of chance
    It was thirty-nine before the music started
    When you walked up to me and you said
    Hey, heads we dance
    Well I didn't know who were
    Until I saw the morning paper

    There was a picture of you
    A picture of you 'cross the front page
    It looked just like you, just like you in every way
    But it couldn't be true
    It couldn't be true
    You stepped out of a stranger

    They say that the Devil is a charming man
    And just like you I bet he can dance
    And he is coming up behind in his long
    Tailed black coat dance
    All tails in the air
    But the penny landed with its head dancing

    A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
    Standing with your head held high
    Hot down to the floor
    But it couldn't be you
    It couldn't be you
    It's a picture of Hitler

    He go do-do-do-do-do
    He go do-do-do-do-do
    He go do-do-do-do-do
    Do you want to dance?
    Well, I couldn't see what was to be
    So I just stood there laughing

    A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
    Standing with your head held high
    Hot down to the floor
    But it couldn't be you
    It couldn't be you
    It's a picture of Hitler

    Do-do-do-do-do
    He go do-do-do-do-do
    He go do-do-do-do-do
    Heads we're dancing

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Do-do-do-do-do
    Do-do-do-do-do
    Do you wanna dance?

    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Heads we're dancing

    Do-do-do-do-do
    He go do-do-do-do-do
    He go do-do-do-do-do
    Do you wanna dance?

    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Heads we're dancing

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Do you wanna dance?

    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
    Heads we're dancing

    Do-do-do-do-do
    Do you wanna dance? Writer/s: Kate Bush
