When you paint the truth, what colours do you use? Ruby red or violet hues? When you go out dancing, do you step into the groove Or do you tiptoe lightly around? You give a little, and what do you get? It's the dance we learn on the ballroom floor It's an eye for an eye It's an eye for an eye It's an eye for an eye It's an eye for an eye Now my body is weak My limbs like cement I can't keep dancing without some sustenance What's this bitter taste? Chewing the stones with broken teeth We want the truth, they feed us hard deceit You give a little, and what do you get? It's the dance we learn on the ballroom floor It's an eye for an eye It's an eye for an eye It's an eye for an eye It's an eye for an eye
