Dance Electric Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I can feel the power surging underneath the wires
It's calling us, urging (Urging, urging)
To come into the fire (Come into the fire)

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a chain reaction when the music hits the street
It's a transformation of current into body heat

[Chorus]
Dance electric
You are the power, let the energy flow
Come on and dance electric, baby
Let yourself go
'Cause when we dance electric
We're gonna shower sparks all over the night
Dance electric
Join in the dance electric
Come on and dance

[Verse 2]
There's a red hot circuit in the heart of the machine
And the force that's working it (Working it, working it)
Is taking over you and me (Over you and me)
[Pre-Chorus]
Then it synchronizes every movement that we make
When the voltage rises, we let all the circuits break

[Chorus]
Dance electric
You are the power, let the energy flow
Come on and dance electric, baby
Let yourself go
'Cause when we dance electric
We're gonna shower sparks all over the night
Dance electric
Join in the dance electric
Come on and dance

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a chain reaction when the music hits the street
It's a transformation of current into body heat

[Chorus]
Dance electric
You are the power, let the energy flow
Come on and dance electric, baby
Let yourself go
'Cause when we dance electric
We're gonna shower sparks all over the night
Dance electric
Join in the dance electric
Come on and dance
[Outro]
Dance electric
You are the power, let the energy flow
Come on and dance electric
Join in the dance electric

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
