Lyrics

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 dancing) We are creating it (We're dancing) 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 dancing) So let the fire lick (We're dancing) We are creating it (We're dancing) Right on the lip of a volcano Let's dance! [Guitar solo] 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 blazing glare (In danger) I found the splendor there (Dancing) Won't letcha slip (We're dancing) Let the lava rip (We're dancing) On the lip of a volcano (Dancing) We are creating it (We're dancing) So let the fire rip (We're dancing) Right on the lip of a volcano A volcano A volcano Thrown in the dance with the mystic Burning me up with its music Sensualistic Ritualistic Alchemistic Polytheistic
