Lyrics for Song: Dance on Vaseline 
Lyrics for Album: Feelings [1997]
  
               
  7932>I'm taking back the knowledge
  I'm taking back the gentleness
  I'm taking back the ritual
  I'm giving in to sweetness
 
 
  Come preacherman, shoot me with your poisoned arrow
  But I dance on vaseline
  And I'm tripping out working on a revolution
  You don't let the music in
 
 
  I'm taking back the children
  I'm taking back the ceremony
  I'm taking back my offerings
  And I'm taking back what you mean to me
 
 
  You're dangerous, shoot me with your poisoned arrow
  But I dance on vaseline
  And I'm slipping out I'm working on a revolution
  Don't let the music in
 
 
  And war is all around us
  Your gods are dead and buried underground
  I was a silly putty
  Your big ideas are useless to me now
 
 
  My baby saw the future
  She doesn't wanna live it anymore
  Its lousy science-fiction
  It's on your skin and seeps into your bones
 
 
  Come preacherman, shoot me with your poisoned arrow
  I dance on vaseline
  And I'm tripping out working on a revolution
  Don't let day begin
 
 
  And you're dangerous, shoot me with your poisoned arrow
  But I dance on vaseline
  And I'm slipping out working on a revolution
  Don't let the music in
 
 
  It started in oklahoma
  You always think it happens somewhere else
  This madness is attractive
  Until the day it happens to yourself
 
 
  And power might seem sexy
  But check her in the cool grey light of dawn
  A legislative body
  And all at once your lust for her is gone
 
 
  And I'm tripping out working on a revolution
  Don't let the day begin
  We'll turn you down time to time for evolution
  Don't let the music in
 
 
  And I'm tripping out working on a revolution
  Don't let the day begin
  We'll turn you down, make a time for evolution
  Don't let the day begin
