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

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 dancin', we are creatin' it 

We're dancin', 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 dancin', so let the fire lick 

We're dancin', we are creatin' it 

We're dancin' right 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 blazin' glare 

In danger, I found the splendor there 

Dancin', won't let'cha slip 

We're dancin', let the lava rip 

We're dancin', on the lip of a volcano 

Dancin', we are creatin' it 

We're dancin', so let the fire rip 

We're dancin', right on the lip of a volcano 

A volcano, a volcano 

Thrown in the dance with the mystics 

Burnin' me up with its music 

Sensualistic, ritualistic, alchemistic, polytheistic
