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.
I think it’s “falling down a mine”
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
because no ones there to catch my mind…
And you are lost
In you I’m lost
also, it would makes sense if the first “will be in vain” was “we’ll be in vain” instead.
