this dance
this dance
is like a weapon
is like a weapon
of self-defense
self-defense
against the present
against the present
present tense

i won’t get heavy
don’t get heavy
keep it light
keep it moving
i am doing
no harm

as my world
comes crashing down
i am dancing
freaking out
deaf dumb and blind

in you i’m lost
in you i’m lost
i won’t turn around
[ ? ]
i won’t stop now
i won’t slack off
all is lost
will be in vain

stop from falling
down a mine
[ ? ]
[ ? ]
but all is lost
will be in vain

in you i’m lost
in you i’m lost
in you i’m lost
in you i’m lost

    I believe it starts with ‘this dance’ and later has a reference to it (‘i am dancing’).

    On a re-listen: you’re right.

  3. Deryk Says:

    I think it’s “falling down a mine”

  4. joseph Says:

    I’m updating the lyrics with these changes. And will update as other changes are suggested.

    Umm, I think it is:

    I won’t turn around
    in pain i’m drowned ?????? (or something about “dropped”)
    I won’t stop now
    I won’t slack off
    But all is lost
    Will be In vain
    Stop from falling
    Down to my eyes
    ????????
    ?????
    But all is lost
    Will be In vain

    here we go:

    ” i won’t turn around or the penny’ll drop”

    and “or all this love will be in vain”

    and “stop from falling down a mine, no-one’s business but mine”

    i think that clears up the missing/incorrect lyrics

    down a mine
