in every crowd i’m o.k. for a while 
but every now and then somehow i find 
by running up and down 
just one thing i can think of 
is quietly fading out 
but i won’t make a sound 

i’m hesitating 
can’t do this on my own 
by what you’re saying 
i guess you dance alone 
well i am waiting 
one cigarette ago 
i thought we’d be home soon 

every crowd i’m in 
in every company 
everything is you in here 
all i do and take 
every move you make 
everything in here relates 
by moving to the sound 
it’s all that i can think of 
and by hitting the ground 
the rhythm gets you 

i’m hesitating 
can’t do this on my own 
if what you’re saying 
is you still dance alone 
then i’ll be waiting 
one cigarette or more 
i hope to be home soon 

every crowd i’m in 
makes it all begin 
same old song i hear 
this sad melody 
i tend to be polite 
behave and stay around 
i’ll be doing fine 
at least for a while 
run run every crowd i’m in you can not run 
something makes it all begin 
go go same old song i hear i told you so 
i hear this sad melody 
down down i tend to be polite you hit the ground 
right now behave and stay around 
see me i’ll be doing fine it sets you free 
please try at least for a while 

in every crowd you’re o.k. for a while 
in every company but not tonight 
by dancing to the sound 
it’s all that you can think of 
and by hitting the ground 
the rhythm gets you
