Daniel Poppinger's Electric Café - Dance (To the Ticking of Time) [Single Edit]

Tommy found a gun in the back garden
I found some change in my back pocket
So, we walk to the pub, yeah, we can still find it
Pause the re-run of Stoke, rewind and restart it
We can gamble still, but with our lives
Against a death of hope, yeah, a journey that’s bright
Now, I’m no gambling man, I’ll fight the fight
And we sing an anthem, into the night
We’re gonna dance
Dance to the ticking of time
Thirty seconds left, that’s fine
That’s long enough to make you mine
We’re gonna dance
Dance ‘till the end of time
I can hear the screams of lives
Of those who won’t survive
My nails are dirty, but I feel fine
We’ve not been together for a long time
And time is running out, who’s buying the next round?
‘Cause it was me last time, I’ll go again that’s fine
And disposed waste surrounds us again
And a drop of water is heaven-sent
But we all knew this time was coming
So, we need to believe in the power of loving
We’re gonna dance
Dance to the ticking of time
Thirty seconds left, that’s fine
That’s long enough to make you mine
We’re gonna dance
Dance ‘till the end of time
I can hear the screams of lives
Of those who won’t survive
We all dance, and have a good time
You sing along, imitating my rhyme
I’ve got money to burn, I’ve got a lot to learn
I’ve got experience, that you just can’t learn
And ordinary people living ordinary lives
Watching TV screens, digesting the lies
Thinking we’re a lost cause, that we cannot fight
But we can push forward, just give it time
Dance to the ticking of time
Thirty seconds left, that’s fine
That’s long enough to make you mine
We’re gonna dance
Dance ‘till the end of time
I can hear the screams of lives
Of those who won’t survive
