Lyrics
And how will we know
When it comes to a close
Will the stars tumble down one by one?
The festival’s done
The punters are gone
As fleet as a midsummer moon
Chorus
So take me dancing, like it’s the end of the world
The beautiful freaks are still dancing
Like it’s the end of the world
The toothless old man with the squeezebox is playing a tune, like the end of the world
So darling one more mazurka
’Til it is time to go
The relics are back in their boxes again
The drunks are asleep where they fell
We laughed at the priests
Threw mud at their feet
We did the old carnival well
And where will we go?
Which is our road?
The hare’s path lies over the downs
But ours is the way
So travellers say
That keeps the whole thing spinning round
The lie of the land
An old caravan
We are ready to leave with the light
So tether the lark
Haul back the dark
Just one more dance for the night
