I see a graveyard's past
   the revolution's taken back
   whatever happened to the sons
   no more sunshine here
   only darkness here
   there's no-one living in this town
  
   cause the dead are dancing
   the dead are dancing
   the dead are dancing
   in the town
  
   mother mary comes to me
   in this graveyard of hypocricy
   but father renta says I'll have to pay
   in the dead are buried lies
   a sinful phantom cries
   can't we just rest up on the hill
  
   but the moonlight calls us
   the moon, it calls us
   up and out into the town
   yes, the dead are dancing
   the dead are dancing
   the dead are dancing
   in the town
  
   heaven does it come to me
   in the dreaming that my soul's been freed
   and the torment of my madness gone away
   and though god says he loves
   and I, I think of love
   i cannot change the way I am
  
   and so the moon, it calls me
   the lunatic calls me
   up and out into the town
   yes, the dead are dancing
   the dead are dancing
   the dead are dancing
   in the town
