Lyrics for Song: Dance On A Volcano
Lyrics for Album: Genesis Live 1973-2007 (11 Discs) [2009]
Holy mother of God
You've got to go faster than that to get to the top
Dirty old mountain all covered in smoke
She can turn you to stone so you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right
You're halfway up and you're halfway down
And the pack on your back is turning you around
Throw it away, you won't need it up there
And remember, you don't look back whatever you do
Better start doing it right
On your left and on your right
Crosses are green and crosses are blue
Your friends didn't make it through
Out of the night and out of the dark
Into the fire and into the fight
Well, that's the way the heroes go
HO! HO! HO!
Through a crack in Mother Earth
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land
And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away
HEY! HEY! HEY!
If you don't want to boil as well
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me
You better start doing it right
The music's playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the light
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right
You better start doing it right
LET THE DANCE BEGIN!

Dance On A Volcano
Recorded live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 1973, "Dance On A Volcano" stands as a pivotal moment in Genesis's early prog-rock evolution. Performed by Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks, the track features the band's signature interplay between atmospheric keyboards and driving percussion, establishing the sonic template for their subsequent work. The song's inclusion on the 2009 box set highlights its significance as a rare live performance that captured the group's raw energy before they fully embraced their progressive identity. It remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the intricate musical structures and collaborative spirit that defined the band's formative years. |
