Lyrics:
They can can come take it all away
Break your heart in the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ship heading for the rocks

See the time melting off the clocks
There’s a light shattering all the locks
And saves me
It saves me

Chorus
That’s why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where we want
That’s all we want La Vie Dansante
Why don’t you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That’s all you’ll want La Vie Dansante

Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders

Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop is a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feeling
