Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] To the city beat on a treacherous curve Up upon the high wire you're observed – Yeag, you live as you live, you'll get what you deserve: High life, dig those highlights You're in the lite lights You'll be like a moth consumed by a flame (Consumed by a flame) [Verse 2] It's a rich man's world, kick those beggars and fools; Conspicuous consumption the only rule But the law of retribution will be terribly cruel [Chorus] Oh, but you mustn't stop to think about your place upon the planet; If you did, you might steal yourself away And it doesn't really matter if the show goes up tomorrow After all, this petty place is day to day [Post-Chorus] It's the highlight It's the Sun City nightlife It's the dancing at midnight It's the dancing all moral existence away [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] Nightlife, highlights, highlife, twilight... [Chorus] Oh, you mustn't ever think about your place upon the planet Don't look further than the bottom of a drink Don't ever think about what's going to come tomorrow Don't stop dancing or the boat will sink... All in all it's gone before you blink [Post-Chorus] Highlights of the high life Sun City nightlife You'll be like a moth consumed by flame... Here comes the hilight of the high life Chimes at midnight... You're still dancing all moral existence away (You'll be like a moth consumed by flame...) [Bridge] (Dancing, dancing) (Dancing, dancing) (Dancing, dancing) (Dancing, dancing) (Dancing, consumed by flame) (Dancing, dancing) (Dancing, consumed by flame) [Outro] A motor-bike in Afrika (Dancing, dancing) He's riding the white line (Dancing, consumed by flame) Oblivious of snakes stretched out across the way like trip-wire... (Dancing, dancing, dancing, consumed by flame) He's dancing (Biko, Biko Biko, Biko) (Biko, Biko Biko, Biko)
