Scarlett lips, a silk embrace But there's no laughter in her face A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies A wicked smile a shifting glance The passion light you feel at last Her pleasure somehow eased the pain Too late to chance it all again (bridge) Before we kiss the world goodbye It's only a breath away One more dance before you die So tender as the music plays (chorus 1) There's no emotion Only passion in your crime Killing the love that drives you out of your mind When you dance with a stranger A spinning room a cool caress A try to hide my loneliness Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by The hollow mask has disappeared We drown our love through salty tears We speed at night like a racing car And now I see you as you really are (bridge) (chorus 2) There's no emotion Only passion in your crime Love is the last thing on your mind When you dance with a stranger Dance... Dance with a stranger Dance... (bridge) (chorus 2) (chorus 3) Watching and waiting For the moment to arrive Dance with a stranger Love is the last thing on your mind When you dance with a stranger (chorus 2 ad lib)
