Mission, The - Dance On Glass Lyrics






Run you ragged
Torn and jagged
Sharp tongued, ripped and ragged
Couldn't find the party line
Gee whiz, it's happy time
Mirror, mirror, reflects me hazy
The heat's on, I'm running round crazy
Here's the road, didn't miss a trick
While you trash the punch and kick
I'll kiss the lips that sealed your fate
I'll bring you flowers and place them on your grave

Dreaming of colours, swamped in dust
Sweet dreams all covered in rust
Looking at heaven, gladdest ghosts seen
Turn to kill this crazy dream
You are revered for your work with ink and mirrors
You are renowned for bringing me steel and power

So dance, dance, dance on
Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
Dance, dance, dance on
Dance, dance, dance
Dance on glass

Shadow boxing, mild and meek
Send me flowers, tongue in cheek
Medicine man cast a spell
Head spins round, kiss and tell

So dance, dance, dance on
Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
Dance, dance, dance on
Dance, dance, dance
Dance on glass

Cheeks on fire, dance on glass
A touch of magic, a hint of class
Dress in leather, play in the dark
Pain and torture leave their mark
Take no prisoners, smash the light
Lunatic fringe, kiss and bite
Wild promise, cheeks are red
Battle cry, and then it's off to bed
You've taken my heart and ripped it from my sleeve
Hold it in your hands
Grip your fingers and it starts to bleed

So dance, dance, dance on
Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
Dance, dance, dance on
Dance, dance, dance
Dance on glass

You shudder at a touch

    Run you ragged, torn and Jagged
    Sharp tongued, ripped and ragged
    Couldn't find the party line
    Gee whiz, it's happy time

    Mirror, mirror, reflects me hazy
    The heat's on, I'm running round crazy
    Here's the road, don't miss a trick
    While you trash the punch and kick

    I'll kiss the lips
    That sealed your fate
    I'll bring you flowers
    And place them on your grave

    Dreaming colors, swamped in dust
    Sweet dreams all covered in rust
    Looking at heaven, gladdest ghosts seen
    Turn to kill this crazy dream

    You are revered
    For your work with ink and mirrors
    You are renounced
    For bringing me steel and powder
    So dance, dance, dance on
    Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
    Dance, dance, dance on
    Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass


    Shadow boxing, mild and meek
    Send me flowers, tongue in cheek
    Medicine man cast a spell
    Head spins round, kiss and tell
    So dance, dance, dance on
    Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
    Dance, dance, dance on
    Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass


    Cheeks on fire, dance on glass

    Dress in leather, play in the dark
    Pain and torture leave their mark
    Take no prisoners, smash the light
    Lunatic fringe, kiss and bite
    Wild promise, cheeks are red
    Battle cry, and then it's off to bed
    You've taken my heart
    And ripped it from my sleeve
    Hold it in your hands
    Grip your fingers and it starts to bleed


    So dance, dance, dance on
    Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
    Dance, dance, dance on
    Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass
    You shudder at a touch

    Ich verstehe bis heute nicht worum es in dem Lied geht ? Wenn ich das mit Google Translater übersetze, kommt nur "Mumpitz" bei heraus. Vielleicht kann mir ja jemand sagen, worum es in dem Text geht ?

    l.... l....

  7. S.... O....

    sisters of mercy, very best...

  8. W.... ....

    Tutto bello tranne quell'immagine vomitevole di quello che bacia con la lingua un altro uomo, che c'entra col brano in questione?

  9. S.... V....

    Yeah and if my granny had wheels she would be a bus.

  15. P.... M....

    another beautiful Mission song

  16. �.... �....

    This is an old Sisters of Mercy song of hisown that he took with him when he formed the Mission

  17. m.... ....

    simply superb..

  18. F.... M....

    My pleasure =)

  19. R.... ....

    For real!!!! He songs like Bono!!!!

  20. s.... ....

    i like both this and the demo version of it... i think its better with Eldritch's vocals, but I like both versions' beats... if that makes sense

    s.... ....

    Bollocks. Eldritch's heart wasn't in singing Wayne's lyrics - and it shows. Besides, as much as Eldritch wrote fantastic songs up until '84 and again with "Floodland", Wayne's voice is technically better - which is not to say that The Mission were consistent, either.

  21. S.... R....

    I agree that Bono is a twat, but he does have a good voice. But I get you, the sense-of-idiot is very overpowering lol

  22. O.... ....

    My Favourite...

  23. S.... ....

    I like "The Mission", but rather this song in the voice of the sisters.

  24. O.... ....

    thanks for this

  25. J.... H....

    If you don't like it, don't listen to it-helpful tip.

  26. D.... ....

    cheers^^

    ...vocals sounds quite like U2. I totally hate Bono so that's why I can't get used to that voice.
