[Verse 1]
I see the city in celebration and delirium
Suffocating under the sun and the joy
And I hear in the music the cries, the laughter
That burst and bounce around me
And lost among all the people shoving me about
Dazed, bewildered, I stand there
When suddenly, I turn around, he steps back
And the crowd throws me into his arms
[Chorus]
Carried away by the crowd that drags us along
Dragging us along
Crushed against each other
We become one body
And the effortless flow
Pushes us along, chained to each other
And leaves us both
Flushed, intoxicated and happy
Swept along by the crowd that dances
And dancing
A crazy dance
Our two hands stay together
And sometimes lifted
Our two entwined bodies take flight
And both fall
Full, intoxicated and happy
[Verse 2]
And the joy splashed by his smile
Bursts through and bubbles up deep inside me
But suddenly I let out a scream amidst the laughter
When the crowd snatches him from my arms
[Chorus]
Carried away by the crowd that drags us along
Dragging us along
Pulling us apart
I struggle and struggle
But the sound of my voice
Is muffled by the laughter of others
And I cry out in pain, fury and rage
And I cry
And dragged by the crowd that dances
And dancing
A crazy dance
I'm carried away
And I clench my fists, cursing the crowd that robs me
The man they gave me
And I never found again
