New York Dolls - Dancing On The Lip Of A Volcano lyrics

Been cravin' more life and more love

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 its true voice cries out, undissembled, "Be as I am!"

Revealed in its 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 its music

Sensualistic

Ritualistic

Alchemistic

Polytheistic
