Lyrics
Down in Mexico they say,
even the dead they have a day
And they dance. They dance
And in New Orleans I'm told,
the ghosts that dance down there are old,
But they dance, they dance
chorus:
Because the words you write
and the songs you've sung
They do live on and when you're gone
They dance, how they dance
The pirate, the poet, the boys in the band
They take their muses by the hand
And they dance, oh they dance
The artist, the writer, the drunkard, the saint
Words and music, ink and paint
It's a dance, oh it's a dance
(chorus)
So many people, live in a trance, focused on dying,
Really they've died in advance
Oh, In advance
Inspiration changes minds, show them they're artists
And then when it's time, they can dance
Oh, they can dance
(chorus)
Down in Mexico they say
even the dead they have a day
And they dance, oh they dance
And when I die, I hope some day
someone will sit on my grave and play
And I'll dance, how I'll dance
Because the words you write and the songs you've sung
They do live on and when you're gone
They dance, how they dance
And when I die, I hope some day
Someone will sit on my grave and play
And I'll dance, how I'll dance
