One cross to bear
Money to be spent
Three standing there
One accident
Coming round the corner
Silently at first
Then the accelerator
Too loud for words
Dancing along
With your head held high
Holding on to life
We sent all the cards
They just keep coming back
The car is in the yard
The train is off the track
Dancing along
With your head held high
Holding on to life
Have you been to Coney Island
Have you seen the Mona Lisa's smile
One sweet seed
Planted in the dirt
A chorus of angels
Looking for work
Dancing along
With your head held high
Holding on to life
