Dancing With Mr D lyrics
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Down in the graveyard where we have our
tryst The air smells sweet, the air smells sick He never smiles, his
mouth merely twists The breath in my lungs feels clinging and thick But I
know his name, he's called Mr. D. And one of these days he's gonna set you
free Human skulls is hangin' right 'round his neck The palms of my hands
is clammy and wet
Lord, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so
free Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free Dancin', Lord, keep your hand off
me Dancin' with Mr. D., with Mr. D., with Mr. D.
Will it be poison
put in my glass Will it be slow or will it be fast? The bite of a snake,
the sting of a spider A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night Hiding
in a corner in New York City Lookin' down a fourty-four in West
Virginia
I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free Dancin', dancin',
dancin' so free Dancin', Lord, keep your hand off me Dancin' with Mr. D.,
with Mr. D., with Mr. D.
One night I was dancin' with a lady in
black Wearin' black silk gloves and a black silk hat She looked at me
longin' with black velvet eyes She gazed at me strange all cunning and
wise Then I saw the flesh just fall off her bones The eyes in her skull
was burning like coals Lord, have mercy, fire and brimstone I was dancin'
with Mrs. D.
Lord, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free I was
dancin', dancin', dancin' so free Dancin', dancin', dancin' so
free
Dancin', dancin'
