The devil dances in Africa
In Japan and America
The devil dances in the Bundestag1
And eventually on my grave
To the TV sets - you've got to see this
Fire in Berlin - isn't it pretty?
To the TV sets - leave everything behind
The world couldn't end in a prettier way
The devil dances in the Vatican
Bathing in delusions of grandeur
Always picks the best things for himself
And likes to applaud himself
Dance with me, stay a little longer
It feels good to be with you
Turn around, there's your audience
Silent for joy
And laughing
The devil dances high on blow
Preferably at parties in Berlin
For nobody does it better
He's bathing in a sea of lights
