Floorshow Lyrics by Sisters of Mercy

Floorshow Lyrics

    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 religion redefined
    For the facile futile totally blind

    Mundane by day inane at 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
