Songtexte Dancing in the Light - The Rolling Stones

You're sitting in the darkness, you're dancing in the light
You really hit the big time, I really took a dive
I'm running in the rain, you're dancing in the light
I'm waiting for the train that never will arrive
You left me twisting in the wind, dangling in the night
You'll be Mr. Christian, and I'll be Captain Bligh

Look at you with your face all shining
Got some new work and some realigning
Now that your nose got some redefining
You look like a million bucks

I got a sinking feeling, you and your wheeling dealing
I'm gonna hit the ceiling, bang the ground with a bump
My whole world is crashing, I took a violent thrashing
Something to throw the trash in, I'm at the garbage dump

What'd I ever do? You treat me so bad
You're living in a penthouse, my flat is dark and damp
Yeah, what's the matter, baby? We used to be so tight
I'm living in the gloom, while you're dancing in the light

Yeah, I got that sinking feeling, whose potatoes are you peeling?
Can't you hear my poor heart squealing? I'm in the garbage dump

Yeah, what's next? Yeah

You're lying in the sunshine, I'm hanging in a cloud
You're basking in the spotlight, I'm lost and in the crowds, yes
What am I gonna do about you? What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do about you? What am I gonna do?

I don't have a clue without you, what am I gonna do?
I'm in a dark place, baby
I've got to, I've got to wear a grim face, baby
You've got me with the heartaches, yeah
Get me out of the dark place

What am I gonna do without you? What am I gonna do?
If I was your new boyfriend, I would have stage fright
While you're riding in a limo, I'm wheeling my bike, yeah
What am I gonna do without you? What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do without you? What I'm gonna do?

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Dancing in the light, oh
Dancing in the light, come on
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh, yeah, oh
