Disco Apocalypse Lyrics - Browne Jackson

Down the side streets and the avenues 

There be sisters walkin' two by two 

Their dresses and their shoes are new 

But their hearts are weary thru and thru 

And it's a long way into the light of day 

While the juke box and the radio play 

Where the days turn into the nights 

People move into the sounds and sights 

Like the moth is drawn into the lights 

Like the tight-rope walker into the heights 

It's in their hearts, it's in their hips 

In's in their feet, it's on their lips 

Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine 

Gonna dance right out onto the edge of time 

When the sound starts pumpin' 

And the lights are flashin' 

And my heart's a-thumpin' 

And I feel the passion 

And the world is right there waiting 

At my fingertips 

Disco... Apocalypse 

In the dawn the city seems to sigh 

And the hungry hear their children cry 

People watch the time go by 

They do their jobs and live and die 

And in their dreams they rise above 

By strength, or hate, or luck, or love 

Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine 

Gonna dance right out onto the edge of time 

When the world starts turnin' 

And the floors are shakin' 

And the dreams are burnin' 

And the skies awaken 

Through the wind and the fire 

They will be dancing still 

It's in their hearts, it's in their hips 

It's in their feet, it's on their lips 

A single sound that never ends 

They die each night and live again 

I'm gonna make you mine 

Tonight's the night 

Out on the edge of time 

With the dreams of flesh and love dancing in my mind 

Dancing through the fire on the edge of time
