Бельгия / Евровидение 2026

I got that summer
On my skin:
It burns, it lives,
It burns within.
That wheel is hot, and I’m driving.
Rain’s a goner, but I’m sinking.
I’m gonna burst,
I’m gonna scream.

   I want love,
   But I’m not loyal.
   Call me Queen,
   Though I’m not royal.
   Want to go?
   What if I’m all
   Alone?

Chorus:
     I keep dancing on the ice,
     Where everything dies,
     Frozen to the bone.

     I keep dancing on the ice
     ‘Cause I feel alive.
     I’m satisfied.
     Keep dancing on the ice.
     Keep dancing on the ice.

Got king winter in my back,
Gotta keep going on the track.
Sunscreen that sticks on wet bodies,
Ice-cream melting on my blue jeans.
(Melting on my blue jeans.)

   I want love,
   But I’m not loyal.
   Call me Queen,
   Though I’m not royal.
   Want to go?
   What if I’m all
   Alone?

Chorus:
     I keep dancing on the ice,
     Where everything dies,
     Frozen to the bone.

     I keep dancing on the ice
     ‘Cause I feel alive.
     I’m satisfied.
     Keep dancing on the ice.
     (Keep dancing,
     Keep dancing on the ice.)
     Keep dancing on the ice.

Bridge:
   Hey, heh, hey,
   Hey, heh, hey.
   Hey, heh, hey,
   Woah.

I want love.
Keep dancing on the ice.
Call me Queen.
(Keep dancing,
Keep dancing on the ice.)
Want to go?
Keep dancing on the ice.

I want love.
Keep dancing on the ice.
Call me Queen.
(Keep dancing,
Keep dancing on the ice.)
Want to go?
Keep dancing on the ice.
