Her breath began to speak

As she stood right in front of me

The colour of her eyes

Were the colour of insanity

Crushed beneath her wave

Like a ship, I could not reach her shore

Were all just dancers on the Devils Dance Floor



Well swing a little more, little more oer the merry-o

Swing a little more, a little more next to me

Swing a little more, little more oer the merry-o

Swing a little more, on the Devils Dance Floor



Pressed against her face

I could feel her insecurity

Her motherd been a drunk

And her father was obscurity

But nothin ever came

From a life that was a simple one

So pull yourself together girl

And have a little fun



Well she took me by the hand

I could see she was a fiery one

Her legs ran all the way

Up to heaven and past Avalon

Tell me somethin girl, what it is you have in store

She said come with me now

On the Devils Dance Floor



Well swing a little more, little more oer the merry-o

Swing a little more, a little more next to me

Swing a little more, little more oer the merry-o

Swing a little more, on the Devils Dance Floor



The apple now is sweet

Oh much sweeter than it ought to be

Another little bite

I dont think there is much hope for me

The sweat beneath her brow

Travels all the way

An headin south

This bleedin hearts cryin

Cause theres no way out



Well swing a little more, little more oer the merry-o

Swing a little more, a little more next to me

Swing a little more, little more oer the merry-o

Swing a little more, on the Devils Dance Floor
