[ Featuring the Aglets ]
Somebody paint that boy a picture
Somebody throw him a parade
But please don't give that boy a mirror
Don't let him see just what we've made
We'll distract him the music
He'll have no choice but to dance
It will be his escape, and he will use
He'll have no other chance
He can dance, 'cause there's no way out
But he can dance, and there's no way out
So he will dance, but there's no way out
He'll be content with his fake windows
Though he'll never see a sunset
There's no such thing, as far as he knows
And that's as far as we want him to get
So seal off the attic with yellow tape
There's no reason to explore
And just to prevent any means of escape
Put another door behind the door
Let him dance, 'cause there's no way out
But he can dance, and there's no way out
So he will dance, but there's no way out
There's no way out
Because if he's given no alternative
How can he question how to grow
And though he may have nothing for which to live
He'll also have no way to know
So put the candles in the cupboard
Cut any rope into tiny pieces
Make sure that all his knives are rubber
Don't give that boy any ideas
Except to dance, 'cause there's no way out
But he can dance, and there's no way out
So he will dance, but there's no way out
There's no way out
There's no way out
And if he asks to see what's out there
If he regards himself as brave
Tell that boy, once and for all, he shouldn't care
There's nothing out there left to save
There's no way out
There's no way out
There's no way out
There's no way out
There's no way out
