Lyrics

Waiting for the queen to come
Waiting for her to show up
While out on the rocks all the ships
Were sinking we laughed as the dance began
Oh how we danced
At the lighthouse dance

Stepped outside took a look
Shook the sweat felt madly sad
I was dreaming of angels
I saw the ships sinking
But one pulled in
I asked the sea captain tell me where you've been
He turned his gaze into the days and he showed me this movie

Oh do you dance you serenader
Oh do you die you masquerader
Oh do you land you space invader

I could see the dance
Through the cracked window pane
Alice smiled at me I felt quite lame
The dance group played I can't recall their name
They played quite well but all their numbers sounded the same
Oh how we danced
At the lighthouse dance
We danced, I grooved, I sighed, I cried
