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 wanna 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 sexy

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
