[Intro: The Voice in Fashion]
(All day, all day)

[Interlude]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at strangers too many times
The love you want is of a different kind

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Remember when we felt the sun?
A love like paradise, how hot it burned
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
And when you walked, you always turned every head

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & The Voice in Fashion]
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
(Domino dancing)

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
I thought that when we fought I was to blame
But now I know you play a different game
I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more
Add another number to the score

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & The Voice in Fashion]
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
(Domino dancing)

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
When you look around you wonder
Do you play to win?
Or are you just a bad loser?

[Interlude]

[Refrain: The Voice in Fashion]
(All day, all day)
(All day, all day)

[Verse 4: Neil Tennant]
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now
I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
And now a storm is breaking within my heart

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & The Voice in Fashion]
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
(Domino dancing)

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
(Domino dancing)
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
(Domino dancing)
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
