Decadence Dance Lyrics

"Francis!
Francis! Be careful!"

Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
Running a rat racing won by our noses
Always put one foot in front of the other
And dance to the beat of the dacadent drummer

Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance

It's hard to stop once the music gets started
'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer

Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance

people only listen to "more than words" and then think "oooh.. sappy love song band..." ; too bad that More than Words is their most popular song. I LOVE their other songs especially this one and "Am I ever gonna change" for which I've just submitted the lyrics.

Why isn't this more popular ]:

If they didn't come at the beginning of the crappy grunge phase they would have been bigger.

One of their best songs. The riffage in this song is top notch. Vocal melody is great on this one.

Song is obviously about everyone conforming to the 9 to 5 life and dancing to the dance.
