[Verse 1]
Dancing in the summer night
Under northern stars so bright
Grandpa's stories by the lake
Of winters that would make us shake
But now the ice is getting thin
And still we dance and drink our gin
[Chorus]
Oh, we'll dance until the world burns down
In our little Swedish town
Raise a glass and sing along
Pretend that nothing's going wrong
Keep the party going strong
While nature's crying out our song
[Verse 2]
Remember when the snow would fall
In October, covering all?
Now we're swimming Christmas Day
But hell, let's dance our guilt away
The old folks say it's just a phase
While forests burn in summer haze
[Bridge]
Accordion's playing our denial
Keep on spinning for a while
Toast to memories we made
While watching all the flowers fade
Who needs glaciers anyway?
When we've got schnapps to drink all day
[Chorus]
Oh, we'll dance until the world burns down
In our little Swedish town
Raise a glass and sing along
Pretend that nothing's going wrong
Keep the party going strong
While nature's crying out our song
[Outro]
So spin me round one final time
In this midsummer paradigm
Where grandpa's stories turn to dust
And traditions slowly rust
But hey, at least we had some fun
Before our dancing days were done
