Dance On Vaseline Lyrics - Singles - David Byrne

I'm taking back the knowledge 

I'm taking back the gentleness 

I'm taking back the ritual 

I'm giving in to sweetness 

Come preacherman, shoot me with your poisoned arrow 

But I dance on Vaseline 

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution 

You don't let the music in 

I'm taking back the children 

I'm taking back the ceremony 

I'm taking back my offerings 

And I'm taking back what you mean to me 

You're dangerous, shoot me with your poisoned arrow 

But I dance on Vaseline 

And I'm slipping out I'm working on a revolution 

Don't let the music in

And war is all around us 

Your Gods are dead and buried underground 

I was a silly putty 

Your big ideas are useless to me now 

My baby saw the future 

She doesn't wanna live it anymore 

Its lousy science-fiction 

It's on your skin and seeps into your bones 

Come preacherman, shoot me with your poisoned arrow 

I dance on Vaseline 

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution 

Don't let day begin 

And you're dangerous, shoot me with your poisoned arrow 

But I dance on Vaseline 

And I'm slipping out working on a revolution 

Don't let the music in

It started in Oklahoma 

You always think it happens somewhere else 

This madness is attractive 

Until the day it happens to yourself 

And power might seem sexy 

But check her in the cool grey light of dawn 

A legislative body 

And all at once your lust for her is gone 

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution 

Don't let the day begin 

We'll turn you down time to time for evolution 

Don't let the music in 

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution 

Don't let the day begin 

We'll turn you down, make a time for evolution 

Don't let the day begin
