Second Empire (Second Arrangement)

Too old to die young, too young to die slow
To Avalon in rags I go

Dancing, dancing. I go dancing, dancing, dancing
Bathed by the blue beams
Saved by the new dreams
I was born again

You could save our souls, but what of our ghost?
Still frozen in a teenage holocaust

Dancing, dancing. I go dancing, dancing, dancing
Bathed by the blue beams
While I raved in my blue jeans
I was born again

Pauvre magicien, baladant tout seul avec ton baladeur
Comment peux-tu danser encore à "Modern Love"?
Comment peux-tu danser encore à tout?
Where do you go when you go?

Tell my friends I'll see them again
A sad Pierrot on the banks of the Seine
In the world that never was
Tell my friends I'll see them again
A sad hello on the banks of the Seine
In the world that never was

I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming. I'll be dreaming
