This is the moment of truth
Am I a seer or a fumbling youth?
This is the promise of the rope
The only place that I can hope

I can't find the words
I can't take the chance
Can't learn the moves
Can't play the part
Savage dance

And life is vapour in the sky
A trail of bread crumbs leading nowhere
This is the promise of the knife
The only time I feel alive

I can't find the words
I can't play the part
Can't learn the moves
To the savage dance

I can't find the thoughts
I can't play the masks
Scarred by the moment
Learning your savage dance

This is the moment of truth
Standing in petrol
Lighting matches with you
This is the promise of the rope
The only place that I can hope

I can't find the words
I can't take the chance
Can't learn the moves
To the savage dance

Scarred by the moment
Scarred by the moment
Savage dance
The savage dance
The savage dance
The savage dance
