Alors On Danse
Stromae Ft. Kanye West And Gilbere Forte’ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw your hands in the sky right now
(Alors on)
(Alors on)
Throw your hands in the sky right now
'Cause it's going down

Unfortunately for the rest of y'all
I'm way better than the best of all
And even though they focus on just the flaws
This still gonna annihilate the festivals
And we still gon' sip the Dom Pérignon
And still gon' eat the filet mignon, ain't it
Yeah, yeah, yeah I've been known
To cover up my eyes with the Ray-Beons

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on

Flashing lights, the stress of life
It's way too much to handle in one night
Live this life like there's no tomorrow
Wake up in Paris with a Russian model
Throw your hands in the sky
If anybody got five dollars in they pocket right now
I call this club Titanic
Why? 'Cause it's going down

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse

Alors on chante
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Alors on chante
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Alors on chante (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on chante (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse

Roll call in the club
Life's a -, feel her up
She be in my mind like a microchip
I'm ready to blow like nitroglyc'
Gone, gone like a light so trick
I am on some psycho -
Dancefloor every night, my bliss
Fed up with the rub, don't bite your lip
Bon T.R.S. and pure gold
Max this out in Euros
Bartender fill it up 'til I can't remember
Feeling hot summer nights in the winter
I'ma better my life 'til we all sent up
Since we are here we are live
Ye and I make you touch the sky

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Alors on chante
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Alors on chante

Alors on chante
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini

Alors on danse (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on danse




Alors on danse (Throw your hands in the sky right now)
Alors on danse ('Cause it's going down)
