Miles above the ground below
 No particular place to go
 Flying higher
 
 Stumble back home to the news at 10
 Catch a thought
 Let it go again
 Flying higher
 
 It's a long way down
 Down's not where I want to be
 
 And if these days would never end
 If laughter was my very oldest friend
 Not a growing trend
 Where what I have I always tend to lose
 By dancing in the devil's shoes
 
 The clock strikes 10 at the edge of doubt
 Nothing I know is my world right now
 Play on, play on
 
 And could I see my soul turn blue
 Cross the sun
 Get burnt for you
 Play on
 Play on
 
 It's a long way home
 When home is the violet sky
 
 And there's a storm in every bottle of wine
 There's a ghost that finds me every single time I think of the games we'll miss
 The playground and the avarice
 
 Oh I should learn to know what to keep
 What to let go
 Talking out loud is not a good thing to do
 When you're dancing in the devil's shoes
 
 And I wish your face was just your face
 And not the moonlight's chosen resting place
 How can the world compare?
 It's just a planet when you're not there
 
 Come watch me hit the ground
 With the most fantastic sound
 Talking out loud is not a good thing to do
 When you're dancing in the devil's shoes
 Dancing in the devil's shoes
