Dance With a Stranger Lyrics

Scarlett lips, a silk embrace 

But there's no laughter in her face 

A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies 

A wicked smile a shifting glance 

The passion light you feel at last 

Her pleasure somehow eased the pain 

Too late to chance it all again 

(bridge) 

Before we kiss the world goodbye 

It's only a breath away 

One more dance before you die 

So tender as the music plays 

(chorus 1) 

There's no emotion 

Only passion in your crime 

Killing the love that drives you out of your mind 

When you dance with a stranger 

A spinning room a cool caress 

A try to hide my loneliness 

Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by 

The hollow mask has disappeared 

We drown our love through salty tears 

We speed at night like a racing car 

And now I see you as you really are 

(bridge) 

(chorus 2) 

There's no emotion 

Only passion in your crime 

Love is the last thing on your mind 

When you dance with a stranger 

Dance... 

Dance with a stranger 

Dance... 

(bridge) 

(chorus 2) 

(chorus 3) 

Watching and waiting 

For the moment to arrive 

Dance with a stranger 

Love is the last thing on your mind 

When you dance with a stranger 

(chorus 2 ad lib)
