everybody's home
and the silence is getting to me
everybody's waiting round
for the last breath on the last on earth

we were all just little dreams
in the all-knowing minds of kings
now we're tied to this anchor
none of them will cut us free

there were no cars on the highway tonight
because they stayed home singing songs
they turn their radios on when they're alone
and call their friends up on the phone

there were no cars on the highway tonight
because they stayed home singing songs
they turn their radios on when they're alone
and they dance til the pain is gone

everybody's gone
and the silence won't be treasured
so tonight until the end of time
we will drown it out forever together

in the folding blocks of a distant town
the volume is turned up and the lights down
in the morning we'll be one with the sea
so for one night only dance with me

with me
with me
dance with me
dance with me
dance with me

there were no cars on the highway tonight
because they stayed home singing songs
they turn their radios on when they're alone
and call their friends up on the phone

there were no cars on the highway tonight
because they stayed home singing songs
they turn their radios on when they're alone
and they dance until the pain

the pain is gone
