Yeah We're Dancing
inspired by Lord of the Flies
I can't stand horses
And of course it's
The only way to ride
Down rhe slimy steps
The labored pony trips
Along the slopes we slide
I smell the juices
In the sluices
I journey with my bride
Burning in the acid
And we're turning flaccid
Still we slip inside
In the belly of the fly
In the belly of the fly
In the belly of the fly
In the belly of the fly
It's a ballroom
In the belly of the fly
My bride is bursting
In her gown of white
I'm rehearsing
In the belly of the fly
In the ballroom
In the ballroom
In the ballroom
In the belly of the fly
Now we're dancing
And we're dancing
Yeah we're dancing
In the belly of the fly
I don't know where you are
Maybe from another star
You turned and baby there you are
You turned and baby there you are
In the belly
In the belly
In the belly
It's a ballroom
In the belly of the fly
You turned and baby there you are
(repeat lines 9 through 17)
This was inspired by the novel Lord of the Flies, heavily influenced by Leonard Cohen's songwriting style.
