Ian Hunter – Dancing On The Moon lyrics

(ian hunter/darrell bath/honest john plain)

(transcribed by colin ford)

Oh!!
Well I climbed through the fence, out with the [?], head for the river plate(?).
The river's not tame, heat in the city meant dogs can't smell the same.
Don't wait up, I'll be home soon, but I can't come now cos I'm
Dancing on the (dancing, dancing) moon, yeah.
(dancing, dancing....)

I crawl like a snake, seen a better daybreak, I sleep when I'm wide awake.

All my body's achin', I know they're tryin' to break me, but that's a chance I
Gotta take.
Oh, don't wait up, I'll be home soon, but I can't come now cos I'm
Dancing, dancing, dancing (dancing on the moon) dancing, dancing, dancing on
The moon
All right.

I'm outside a memphis, my motors little danger(?) she gives me
Pharmaceuticals
Knowin' my friends, they help me beat the hangman, they know I'm innocent
Well that's all right, I'll be home soon, but I can't come now cos I'm
Dancing, dancing (dancing, dancing) on the moon
(dancing, dancing on the moon) .

I can see your house in between the trees
I can feel your body shakin' in between my knees.
You know it feels so low, I come so far
I always love to have some fire on me

You're looking so good

Well I got me a room, can't say where it is, you can guess the address
Well I need some money, need it in a special place, not try the weaknesses(?)

Wake up [?] , nursin' my wounds, I told you I was comin, I was comin' home soon. Yeah.

(want you, want you, want you, want you right away,)
