DANCE DANCE DANCE LITTLE SNAKE song lyrics
Based on "Le Serpent qui danse"
From FLEURS DU MAL by Charles Baudelaire

O my lazy darling
I love to see you lie
Your skin so silky shimmers
Your perfume makes me cry

your thick black hair rolls like the sea
in the morning wind
my soul sets sail into a dream
nothing revealed within

the iron gold that are your eyes
you walk the cadence of the wild
beautiful abandonment
like dancing with a child

dance dance dance little snake
dance dance dance when you awake

lazily you bend and stretch
a head like some young elephant
the melted glaciers of your blood
the spit that turns to wine decanted

I drink the bitter with the sweet
The stars they scatter in the night
I taste Bohemia in your teeth
And fall into a liquid sky

dance dance dance little snake
dance dance dance when you awake
