In a bar in San Francisco
we are dancing in the night
And her ruby lips are saying:
love me right now!

As she wrappes her arms around me,
it all seemed to be alright
you are yesterday and gone
while she's right here and now.

And I'm dancing and dancing
and giving and living your memory away
Now I'm ready to say: I am alive!
In the arms of a stranger
my heart's out of danger, I am ok
Let the music play,
I am alive
come on, I am alive!

In a way I'm glad it's over
even though I'm feeling blue
It was time for me to move into a town.
I will learn to live without you
and I know I'll make it through
'Cause our love was just a circus,
I'll never be your clown!

And I'm dancing and dancing
and giving and living your memory away
Now I'm ready to say: I am alive!
In the arms of a stranger
my heart's out of danger, I am ok
Let the music play,
I am alive
come on, I am alive!

And I'm dancing and dancing
and giving and living your memory away
Now I'm ready to say: I am alive!
In the arms of a stranger
my heart's out of danger, I am ok
Let the music play,
I am alive
Oh, I am alive!

And I'm dancing and dancing
and giving and living your memory away
Now I'm ready to say: I am alive!
In the arms of a stranger
my heart's out of danger, I am ok
Let the music play,
I am alive
Oh, I am alive!
