Standing on the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the World.

Laughing we were like cavemen
But we met the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them

We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

You know no-one dies in these love drowned eyes
Through our love drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight

Although no-one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain.
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again

Breathin' but none of us leavin'
Wash your mouth son or you'll find yourself floatin' home

Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike
But now we'll last the day

There's progress now where there once was not
Where there once was not
Then everything came along.

Although no-one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain.
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again

Although no-one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain.
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again

We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders of the faith we are
When the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

Although no-one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain.
(Learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again
(Now we'll never dance again)

No-one, no-one, no-one, no-one
