[Intro]
Francis!
Francis! Be careful!

Let's go!

[Verse 1]
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
Running a rat race won by our noses
Always put one foot in front of the other
And dance to the beat of the decadent drummer

[Pre Chorus]
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

[Chorus]
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance, dance

[Verse 2]
It's hard to stop once the music gets started
'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer
Whoo! The decadent dancer

[Pre Chorus]
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

[Chorus]
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance, dance, dance
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the decadence dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance
Dancing to the decadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance

Ahhhhh, ahhhh

Dancing to the decadence dance

Huh!

Extreme

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
