We Came To Dance Lyrics - Singles - Ultravox

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play 

The ties that bind us just slip away. 

We came to dance 

The piper calls out a different rhyme 

He cracks the whip and we step in time. 

Standing as the parade goes passing by 

I hear a voice around my cry. 

Like the sound of a distant drums 

Rejected and alone. 

A heart without a home 

Then someone said: 

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play... 

We came to dance. 

Waiting as the panic grips my hand 

Hearing prose from high command 

Like a million times before 

No dignity or grace 

It's the price and not the race 

And someone said: 

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play... 

We came to dance. 

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play 

The ties that bind us just slip away. 

Take what you can 

They said take it while you may. 

But keep in mind penalty fits the crime 

And it deals no softened blow. 

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play... 

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play... 

We came to dance 

Making moves from a passion play...
