Who is this stranger
Who comes here every night
It's such a spooky sight
He always dances alone

When he dances
People move aside
They stand there hypnotized
He's got a haunting dance of soul

I've heard it said
Once upon a time
He had a lover
And they showed that love
By dancing with each other

Everywhere he danced
The crowd would roar
And yelled for more

Oh, but then
Something happened and
She never danced again
And they say he stayed
Beside her to the end

With her dying breath
She whispered she'd be
With him on the floor
He to the rhythm and
They danced once more

Who is this ghost dancer
You can feel it in the music
Ghost dancer
She shivers in the night
Ghost dancer
Dancing to the music in the night

This lonely stranger
Acts like he's in a spell
Waits til the stroke of twelve
The starts to dance with
The shadows of night

When he starts spinning
Under the mirrored ball
The beams of light that fall
Reveal the man has
Tears in his eyes

And when he moves
You get the strangest feeling
Someone else is there

The way he wraps his arms
Around thin air
Dancing cheek to cheek
And face to face
With empty space

I could swear
As the strobe lights start to flash
There's someone there
Through the haze of
Cigarette smoke in the air

You can see her ghostly image
In the mirror of the floor
She reaches up to touch him
And they dance once more

Who is this ghost dancer
You can feel it in the music
Ghost dancer
She shivers in the night
Ghost dancer
Dancing to the music in the night

Ghost dancer
Feel it in the music
Ghost dancer
She shivers in the night
Ghost dancer
Dancing to the music in the night

Ghost dancer
In the night

Who is this ghost dancer
Dancing to the music in the night
