"Dance Of The Mad (7" Version)" lyrics - POP WILL EAT ITSELF
[Intro:]
Live and alive with the Dead Ahead Sound...
The ultimate ultrasonic technicolor climax...
For all party people, all feet on heat...
The dance of the mad!
(Get up, it's time)
(Get up, make it snappy)
Dance like a psycho, a sight like nothing on earth
Keep a wide berth from anyone you might know
So no first night nerves, all first serves
All aces, straight home bases
Sweating like a pig doing a jig at the gig of the century
Because we'll never be
Told by the old school, sold the old rules
Mad and bad to know, though we're not fools
Downbeats down to earth, you down with me?
Clownin' 'round the town, step easy
Cookin' up new tricks, lookin' for a new kick
Found a new sound, found that it sticks
Heard about the bird, 'bout the plane, and the Superman?
Word is we can outlast anyone
Supercede the superfly guys who
Will concede they are dying flies
This range of suss could be dangerous
Let's test! At best, it's religious
At worst, a thirst, bursting for the next rhyme
All times sacred, even stripped naked
[Pre-Chorus:]
This damned nation, needing salvation
Reach out, teach in musical elation
Shout, get out of it, get within it
Get out of it, get within it
[Chorus:]
DJ!
All the way mad and bad
All the way hyped
Play it mad, DJ! Play it bad, DJ!
All the way mad and bad
All the way hyped
Are you with me? Are you with it?
A musical nasty, fast as it has to be
A catastrophe, heavy duty chaos
'Cause I'm all attitude
The dude to kickstart the party mood
Cue the truth, sleuths are never sober
The proof of youth, so move over, rover
Hey, disco king... (You've stopped dancing)
Best admit this hit's an obsession
Lost in lust, better listen to the lessons
Bright lights, big city
Broad minds, bored pretty easily
Busted just for justice sake
They can't control a soul, there's an outbreak
Of outrageous love, it's contagious
And it's here to save us
Some say, "No way! DJ, don't play
The latest, the greatest, the mad and bad way"
If it ain't music, use it, abuse it
Call it a wall of noise, but don't refuse it
[Pre-Chorus:]
This damned nation, needing salvation
Reach out, teach in musical elation
Shout, get out of it, get within it
Get out of it, get within it
[Chorus:]
DJ!
All the way mad and bad
All the way hyped
Play it mad, DJ! Play it bad, DJ!
All the way mad and bad
All the way hyped
[Outro:]
1 and 2 and 3 and 4
5 and 6 and 7, three more
8 and 9 and 10 through 11
Y.O.U. spells YOU
Y.O.U. spells YOU
