The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy blending in the crowd
The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy following the crowd

And when you come back down now, girl...
When you come back down now, girl...

When you were a young girl
Did you wanna be something more, baby?
But now you feel you're so lost
And you're burning up inside, yeah

We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down
We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down

I can't pretend I'm happy when...
And now I know it's pointless
I'm constantly on a down
And I'm tired of waiting, waiting
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now you're falling again

The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy blending in the crowd
The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy following the crowd

And when you come back down now, girl...
When you come back down now, girl...

When I was a young boy
I wanted to be something more, baby
But I can't dance, no, and I sure as f___ cant sing

We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down
We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down

Why do we play into this motive?
What are you waiting for tonight?
You wonder, you wait
And you cant get through this without a line
Now
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now you're falling again

Lets break it down

Everything's so jaded, baby
Fathers trying hard to keep up with the Joneses
And his wife's so dirty, baby
s__ing up every Tom, d___ and Harry in town

Lets go
I can't pretend I'm happy when...
And now I know it's pointless
I'm constantly on a down
And I'm tired of waiting
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now you're falling again
