FLOORSHOW

words by andrew eldritch music by craig adams





The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground

In the violet hour to the violent sound

And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine

And the voices and the singing and the line on line

This is the floorshow the clapping hands

Animal flow from the animal glands

In the violet hour to the violent sound

Going round and around and around and around and around



I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet

I feel the light I feel the heat I see the new elite

I see the final floorshow I see the western dream

I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam



See them shimmy see them go

See their painted faces glow

Slow slow quick quick slow

See those pagans go go go go go



This is the floorshow the last ideal

It's populist got mass appeal

The old religeon redifined

For the facile futile totally blind



Mundane by day inane by night

Pagan playing in the flashing light

In the violet hour to the violent sound

Going round and around and around and around and around

And the bodies naked on the low damp ground

In the violet hour to the violet sound

And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine

And the voices singing line on line



See them shimmy see them go

See their painted faces glow

Slow slow quick quick slow

See those pagans go go go go go
