Dance Across The Centuries Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

It's a world of "hang on to what you've got" 

It's a world of "do or die" 

I know you never take it serious 

And you keep your head up high 

I know you'd like to speak to the manager 

Oh baby, so would i 

I never made this crazy world anyway 

I never made this one way ride 

Chorus 

For some life offers nothing more 

Than a struggle or a war 

A magnum hidden in your drawer 

You walk away... you want to 

Dance across the centuries 

Dance across the sea of time 

Dance a living memory oh 

Dance you want to let your spirit shine 

Every dog wants to be a fat cat 

Every mouse to be a dog 

It's not easy, I can tell you 

Trying to see through the fog 

Funny how some of us live it up 

While others just survive 

I know you do what you can 

But all you ever do is time 

Chorus
