Dancing (Live) - Paolo Conte

Ooh-woah It's just a little red wine, I'll be fine Not like I wanna do this every night I've been good, don't I deserve it? I think I earned it, feels like it's worth it In my mind, mind Twisted reality, hopeless insanity I told you I was okay, but I was lying I was dancing with the devil Out of control Almost made it to heaven It was closer than you know Playing with the enemy Gambling with my soul It's so hard to say no When you're dancing with the devil Ooh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah It's just a little white line, I'll be fine But soon that little white line is a little glass pipe Tinfoil remedy almost got the best of me I keep prayin', I don't reach the end of my lifetime, mmm Twisted reality, hopeless insanity I told you I was okay, but I was lying I was dancing with the devil Out of control Almost made it to heaven It was closer than you know Playing with the enemy Gambling with my soul It's so hard to say no When you're dancing with the devil Thought I knew my limit, yeah I thought that I could quit it, yeah Thought that I could walk away easily But here I am, falling down on my knees Praying for better days To come and wash this pain away Could you please forgive me? Lord, I'm sorry for dancing with the devil Ooh, yeah-yeah Yeah-yeah, yeah Closer than you know, woah It's so hard to say no When you're dancing with the devil Ooh-oh, yeah Oh, mmm Thank you, guys, so much for coming And thanks for tuning in, I love all of you

Lonely, my life used to be lonely Lonely as the single lonely number one Lonely like a lonely sun With not even one iota to shine upon Crying, deep inside I was crying Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed Carrying with it my lonely soul With not even a clue of who, Where or what I would become Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should Do with my broken life But oh, was I lifted when I let your light Inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and You in my, my, my, my li-li-life I'm dancing to the rythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever greateful for your love Money, oh how did I have money Enough to last me from the start til the end of time With some more to leave behind And yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress I can, feel the very presence of your love here Though I've never seen the pleasure of your smile No, I've never touched your hand And yet you've given me eternal happiness Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should Do with my broken life But oh, was I lifted when I let your light Inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, My, my, my li-li-life I'm dancing to the rythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love [Repeat] Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should do With my broken life But oh, was I lifted when I let God's light Inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you In my, my, my, my li-li-life I'm dancing to the rythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love [Repeat]

When I passed you in the doorway Well, you took me with a glance I should have took that last bus home But I asked you for a dance Now we go steady to the pictures I always get chocolate stains on my pants And my father he's going crazy He says I'm living in a trance But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night It's three o'clock in the morning And I'm on the streets again I disobeyed another warning I should have been in by ten Now I won't get out 'til Sunday I'll have to say I stayed with friends But it's a habit worth forming If it means to justify the end Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night And I'm walking home The last bus is long gone But I'm dancing in the moonlight Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night

La donna è con me È molto di più di una donna qualsiasi Io voglio a lei un bene fortissimo Un grido bellissimo Canto tutto e niente Una musica senza musica Dove tutto è niente Come musica nella musica Il luogo com'è? Una valle di nomadi, tutto qui Ascoltami, tu, uomo di Neanderthal Sì, o di Tangeri C'è qualcuno tra voi che sappia suonare Una danza vertigine, un ballo frin frun Che tolga le scarpe e le calze alle femmine? Suona tutto e niente Una musica nella musica Dove tutto è niente Come polvere sulla polvere Si suona così con grazzia plebea Le mani che sudano Ed offrono a noi, caro elisir L'arabesca impossibile Dove tutto è niente Solo musica, brava musica E la danza splende Come un diavolo in un fulmine

Max era Max Più tranquillo che mai La sua lucidità Smettila, Max La tua facilità Non semplifica, Max Max, non si spiega Fammi scendere, Max Vedo un segreto avvicinarsi qui, Max

Tropical Le parole bastavan da sole A descriverti il regno del sole Del frastuono bluette Tropical Tropical Tropical Tropical Tropical Eran le ultime sambe degli anni '50 E noi giù Sotto la nordica pallida Europa Un poco più giù Confidenzial Fregatura total Illusional Come il gerovital Altre stagioni Altra storia virtual Nella scusante del monumental Tropical Tropical Anzi subtropical Sulle terrazze di notte L'estate italiana un via vai Intellettuali e matrone parlavano d'arte ma ormai Artificial Tentativo glacial Subliminal Tentazione ambiental Usa l'estate il sorriso abitual Le gira intorno un pensiero autunnal Tropical Tropical Tropical Tropical

C'è stato un attimo che tu Mi sei sembrata niente È stato quando la tua mano mi ha Lasciato solo e inesistente Hai volteggiato e sei tornata qui L'orchestra è andata avanti E poi nessuno ha visto, vieni E abbiam ripreso a masticare Questa vecchia rumba Ci siamo sorrisi e salutati E siam rimasti in pista C'è sembrata sempre grande Questa nostra danza Mezza dolce e mezza armara E siam rimasti in gara Dancing Dancing Dancing Dancing I ballerini che lo fanno Un po' per professione Un po' per vera vocazione Han passo di ossessione E sanno bene che l'azzardo È lieve come il leopardo E san che tutte le figure Han mille stumature Se nel mio passo hai avvertito un'inquietudine E un grande inchino Ero vicino a una città lontana Tutta di madreperla, argento Vento, ferro, fuoco E non trovavo qui nessuno Per parlarne un poco Dancing Dancing Dancing Dancing Sì, sono sempre più distratto E anche più solo e finto E l'inquietudine e gli inchini Fan di me un orango Che si muove con la grazia Di chi non è convinto Che la rumba sia soltanto Un'allegria del tango Dancing Dancing Dancing Dancing
