The First Man That Ever Danced

I woke up, looked at the sky
In the world I know there's nobody sadder than I
If I win the rat race I'll still be a rat
Said to myself, "There must be something better than that"

I'll follow my feet, yeah, go where they lead me
For the first time someone needs me
Tonight I'll dance

Like the first man that ever danced
Like the first man that ever danced
The first man that ever danced
I'll be the first man that ever danced

The first man that ever danced
First man that ever danced
First man that ever danced

They could see me laying alone
Still in my bed thought I was dead
I was still as stone
I heard one say I think we're too late
I said I was trying to sleep but now that I'm awake
I'm awake

I get up, follow my feet, yeah, go where they lead me
Where there's just you and me - we'll be free

Like the first man that ever danced
Like the first man that ever danced
The first man that ever danced
I'll be the first man that ever danced
