Lyrics

Well I see a young man searching aimlessly for a young heart
And he’s completely entangled in playing a meaningless part
And I really would like him to know how it feels to be dancing on top of the world
Yes I really would like him to know

Well she stands insecurely among all her withering dreams
And pretends to be happy while her life falls apart at the seams
And I really would like her to know that she’s playing a game that is hurting her so
Yes I really would like her to know

But she spent all her days… all work and no play
And her heart tucked away like a pearl
Should have been dancing on top of the
Dancing on top of the… Dancing on top of the world

Well I’ve seen an old man who’s been lonely right from the start
And he can’t understand why his dreams left him cold in the dark
Well there once was a hope deep inside of his heart
But the flame has now flickered and died
And I really did want him to know how it feels
To be dancing on top of the world
Yes I really did want him to know

But he spent all his days… all work and no play
And his heart tucked away like a pearl
Should have been dancing on top of the
Dancing on top of the
Dancing on top of the world
(…Of the world, of the world, of the world)
Dancing on top of the
Dancing on top of the
Dancing on top of the world
