[Verse 1]
The river rose above my bedroom window
Soaked into the carpets and down the walls
Left patterns of exquisite unimagined beauty
And in the twisting stains I trace the features
A face inside a frame whispers and beseeches
A rever in my vein coursing through me
Echoing my name, calls to me
[Chorus]
It goes, "Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance with me?"
[Post-Chorus 1]
But the river is a shame as it pulls you down
Yet keeps you in the game for the fear you'll drown
But you know you're not to blame
[Verse 2]
'Cause it is in your instinct to be happy
Your DNA and blueprint, your every impulse
Euphorically captive to an impulse
[Chorus]
It goes, "Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance with me?"
[Post-Chorus 2]
And Sheba's in the pool, and the screen is torn
There's a shadow on the wing come from David's thorn
But you're a clever king
[Verse 3]
And Solomon's songs are full of mystery
You open my window every time you kiss me
[Chorus]
You go, "Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance with me?
Do you wanna dance?"
[Post-Chorus 3]
But the river is a shiver of fallen blooms
Blossoms shed like tears on a mirrored Moon
Haven't felt like this for years
[Verse 4]
But when I was a child, I would love to sing to
Anything wild I could capture the sting to
So, I guess I never really did stand a chance
'Cause I never much liked to walk, I like to dance
