New York Dolls - Dancing on the Lip of a Volcano lyrics
[New York Dolls - Dancing on the Lip of a Volcano lyrics]
That lives in the soul of my heart
Don't wanna be no artist
I'm a dancin', singin' work of art
You lit my heart with fiery
Aggression and you showed me
The fury of love
Sex and affection that ya owed me
(In danger) but, I ain't scared
(In danger) i found the splendor there
(Dancin') atop a flamin' pit
(We're dancing) we are creating it
(We're dancing)
Right on the lip of a volcano
Nature with it's true voice
Cries out, undissembled, "Be as I am!"
Revealed in it's wildest
Most generous incarnation
(In danger) devil may-care
(In danger) the fire's everywhere
(We're dancing) so let the fire lick
(We're dancing) we are creating it
(We're dancing) on the lip of a volcano
Let's dance!
In the center of action of
My psyche's need for love
I want liberation and joy
In a paroxysm of intoxication, inspiration
Ain't no way to be coy
(In danger) a blazing glare
(in danger) i found the splendor there
(Dancing) won't letcha slip
(We're dancing) let the lava rip
(We're dancing) on the lip of a volcano
(Dancing) we are creating it
(We're dancing) so let the fire rip
(We're dancing)
Right on the lip of a volcano a volcano
A volcano
Thrown in the dance with the mystics
Burning me up with it's music sensualistic
Ritualistic alchemistic
Polytheistic
