Down Here People Dance Forever Lyrics

Night on a street without memories
In a club without a name
Here people have no tomorrow
And the dance is not a game

You let me feel all the night inside you
What could I do?
I made a place for me there beside you
Now the dance is never through

'Cause we soon found out
Down here people dance forever
It's a haunting sight to see
It's their one way out
Down here people dance forever
While you're dancing you are free

Life comes to us through the music
Feel the heartbeat in the drum
Life, this is no time to lose it
Please don't let the morning come

I got a message from tomorrow
I'm overdue
I sent a message to tomorrow
I will be there when the dance is through

But I know right now
Down here people dance forever
It's a haunting sight to see
It's their one way out
Down here people dance forever
While you're dancing you are free

And you'll soon find out
Down here people dance forever...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
