It's like a vision ( The Lord is coming )
I see the Saviour ( The Lord is coming back )
A beautiful woman ( The Lord is coming )
These are the last days ( The lost days of mankind )
People in fever ( At the end of the working week
Is the end of the world - He's coming back! )
And the Messiah is coming
With the body of a beautiful girl
And the people say . .
Dance, dance, if you're a believer
In the light and rhythm and heat
Jesus Christ is a disco diva
She has come to set you free, she told me
Ecstasy is transitory, passion is impermanent
So let go, don't hold on
I am the Lord of the Dance, said she
I will turn you on
I see a beautiful woman (O Sabba Dukkha)
She's got the face of Buddha (O Sabba Annata)
I see her coming and smiling (O Sabba Annika) I hear her singing and saying (So speaks the Buddha )
"In man is no abiding entity
In things no abiding reality
Fantastic illusion is everywhere
Abandon every earthly care and
Dance, dance, if you're a believer
In the light and rhythm and heat
Siddharta Gotama is a disco diva
She has come to set you free"
She told me: "Lay down your heavy burden
Get up and follow me
I will make you fishers of men
I am the Lord of the Dance", said she
"I will turn you on'
Dance, dance, if you're a believer
In the light and rhythm and heat
In the beautiful fever of the disco diva
She has come to set you free
