Dance, Dance Christa Päffgen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's got the time
Says she got time on her side
Running the room
Commanding the late boys' eyes
She runs around,
Knows all the streets by name
So mysterious,
Shadows meet James Dean
She's intoxicating,
Soon your favorite drink
Your black dress in disarray
Only dance floor prayers can save (you)
Temperatures rise and I start to move
But it's you that's coursing through my veins
Say she's got hope
Took shelter to the Hollywood list,
Taking control
Wanted my heart but I gave her my soul
She's like a Paige Davis with a Monroe kiss
Disappeared today,
Left no trace
But someday I'll know your name
Your black dress in disarray
Only dance floor prayers can save (you)
But it's you that's coursing through my veins
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
She's no saint, She's no saint, Shes no saint
But she'll take you to your knees
Try her boy, but she'll still do what she please
Do you believe in science? She's perfect chemistry
She wanted my love but I gave her the rest of me
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
You'll adore me before the night is over
You'll adore me before the night is over
(Instrumental)
If London's calling don't you dare pick up the phone
Only you entwined
Could make this orphan feel at home
Lips that need no introduction, but now waiting for your call
If a picture's worth a thousand words
Then your touch is worth them all
Worth them all
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
You're my chemical
Swear I'm clinical
(I need a fix in those heroin eyes)
You're my chemical
No not cynical
(I need a fix in those heroin eyes)
(worth them all)
Girl:
Don't leave us in the dark
