"THE OCCIDENT" OFFICIAL LYRICS

INTRO

You know…
I just get that feeling sometimes…
…You know.

VERSE I

The world is our very own dance floor
So let’s conquer it all right now
The way you move—it is an art form
The beat, the rhythm, and the sound

Just like the rushing of the river
Our movements come cascading down
The night is vast like a frontier
And the future is what’s to be found

You can be the guest of
The best of
The rest of
The quest of
My night

And my world is messed up
I’ve ‘fessed up
I’d best love
The guest of
The night

CHORUS

Our romance
Is a dance
I can do with you

Take my hand
I’m your man
In this night for two

Our romance
Is a dance
I can do with you

Take my hand
I’m your man
In this night for two

In the Occident (the Occident)
In the Occident (here in the Occident)

VERSE II

You know there ain’t no mountain too tall
And no valley ain’t too low at all
You know at every beckoning call
I will be there—I won’t let you fall

I’ll cross the desert land to show you
That you are what quenches my thirst
You are the healer of my own dearth
And our love will rule the whole wide world

You can be the guest of
The best of
The rest of
The quest of
My night

And my world is messed up
I’ve ‘fessed up
I’d best love
The guest of
The night

[Chorus]

BRIDGE

I’ll be all that I
Can be for my baby
So that you will be
My one and only lady
I won’t go—
I’ll be here for you daily
Our love will conquer the world (the world)

[Chorus]
