Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now the party's over, I'm so tired
Then I see you coming out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
[Chorus]
Avalon
[Verse 2]
When the samba takes you out of nowhere
And the background's fading out of focus
Yes, the picture's changing every moment
And your destination, you don't know it
[Chorus]
Avalon
[Bridge]
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
When you bossa nova, there's no holding
Would you have me dancing out of nowhere
[Chorus]
Avalon
[Outro]
