It starts with the tapping of your feet
and moves up through your neck
That creeping feeling you're no longer
breathing anymore
I know it feels so strange (so strange)
No blood is pumping though your veins
Nothing left alive within you
The dead have filled this venue

We're dancing with the dead, we just don't know it yet
We're dancing, we're dancing (dancing with the dead)
I feel your heart beat race no there's no saving grace
We're dancing, we're dancing with the dead
We just don't know it yet

Let me see your hands I know just where they've been
Digging graves for the ones that trust you
And then the ghosts come back to haunt you
Oh! I see your face cracks
Didn't know that the dead wore masks
This dance will end right now
The dead will take their final bow

We're dancing with the dead, we just don't know it yet
We're dancing, we're dancing (dancing with the dead)
I feel your heart beat race no there's no saving grace
We're dancing, we're dancing with the dead
We just don't know it yet

I know we're not the same
But I'm so glad you came
We're two sides of a mirror
It couldn't be any clearer

We're dancing with the fucking dead

We're dancing with the dead, we just don't know it yet
We're dancing, we're dancing (dancing with the dead)
I feel your heart beat race no there's no saving grace
We're dancing, we're dancing with the dead
We just don't know it yet
