The song, originally from the album Born This Way , explores deep religious and personal themes:

"Love is just a history that they may prove / And when you’re gone, I’ll tell them my religion’s you" .

"I’ll dance, dance, dance / With my hands, hands, hands / Above my head, head, head / Like Jesus said" .

: The lyrics describe watching the crucifixion and choosing to "dance through the night" despite grief. Key Lyrics :
