David Byrne - Dance On Vaseline Lyrics
Im taking back the knowledgeIm taking back the gentlenessIm taking back the ritualIm giving in to sweetnessCome preacherman, shoot me with your poisoned arrowBut I dance on vaselineAnd Im tripping out working on a revolutionYou dont let the music inIm taking back the childrenIm taking back the ceremonyIm taking back my offeringsAnd Im taking back what you mean to meYoure dangerous, shoot me with your poisoned arrowBut I dance on vaselineAnd Im slipping out Im working on a revolutionDont let the music inAnd war is all around usYour gods are dead and buried undergroundI was a silly puttyYour big ideas are useless to me nowMy baby saw the futureShe doesnt wanna live it anymoreIts lousy science-fictionIts on your skin and seeps into your bonesCome preacherman, shoot me with your poisoned arrowI dance on vaselineAnd Im tripping out working on a revolutionDont let day beginAnd youre dangerous, shoot me with your poisoned arrowBut I dance on vaselineAnd Im slipping out working on a revolutionDont let the music inIt started in oklahomaYou always think it happens somewhere elseThis madness is attractiveUntil the day it happens to yourselfAnd power might seem sexyBut check her in the cool grey light of dawnA legislative bodyAnd all at once your lust for her is goneAnd Im tripping out working on a revolutionDont let the day beginWell turn you down time to time for evolutionDont let the music inAnd Im tripping out working on a revolutionDont let the day beginWell turn you down, make a time for evolutionDont let the day begin
