Dance on Vaseline

I'm taking back the knowledge I'm taking back the gentleness I'm taking back the ritual I'm giving in to sweetness Oh preacher man Shoot me with your poison arrow But I dance on Vaseline I'm trippin' out Workin' on a revolution Gon' let the music in I'm taking back the children I'm taking back the ceremony I'm taking back my offerings I'm taking back what you mean to me You're dangerous! Shoot me with your poison arrow But I dance on Vaseline I'm slippin' out Workin' on a revolution Go'n let the music in And war is all around us The Gods are dead and buried underground Your hollow Gods are burried underground I was a silly putty Your big ideas are useless to me now My baby saw the future She doesn't want to live there any more It's lousy science fiction Gets on your skin and seeps into your bones You're dangerous! Shoot me with your poison arrow But I dance on Vaseline I'm slippin' out Workin' on a revolution Go'n let the music in Started in Oklahoma You always think it happens somewhere else This madness is attractive Until the day it happens to yourself & Power might seem s*xy But check her in the cool grey light of dawn A legislative body And all at once your lust for her is gone & I'm trippin out Workin on a revolution Gon' let the day begin We'll turn it out Monkey time for evolution Gon' let the music in --- Dance on Vaseline - David Byrne
