   There are children at the bottom of the ocean
  (Dance...                                      body moves)
   It's so hard to be so far away
  (Dance...                       hold the news)
   Some people have forgotten the explosion
  (Dance...                                 about issues)
  Still throwin' punches every day
  
  Well, we still like to think we're human
       (Dance...                           a little slack)
  And we're gonna try and drown in our own sweet way
     (Dance...                                      we'll get you back)
  Our timing maybe looks confusin'
     (Dance...                     take it back)
  But mister, can we dance it away, yeah, yeah, yeah
  
  Dance it away (dance away your worry now)
  Come on and dance it away (didn't matter anyhow)
  Mmmm, dance it away (away you better hurry now)
  Get up and dance it away
  
  |G                      |G                      |
   Don't worry, (dance it) Don't worry, (dance it)
  |G                         |                        |C
   Don't worry, (don't worry, dance it) just dance it away
  
  [synth interlude]
  ||:C     |      :||x8
  
  Don't worry (dance it)
  Don't worry (dance it)
  Don't worry (don't worry, dance it) Just dance it away
  
   They say we got nothing left 
  (Dance....                   nothing on the ground)
   They say we used it all up 
  (Dance....                   in the desert town)
   Got to be so careful with the rest

  Or else the nuke's are gonna play it tough, yeah
  
   Well, I can't stay pessimistic

  Why don't you just dance it away (didn't matter anyhow)
  Come on and dance it away (away you better hurry now)
