Dancing With Mr. D. Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 Down in the graveyard where we have our tryst

2 The air smells sweet, the air smells sick

3 He never smiles, his mouth merely twists

4 The breath in my lungs feels clinging and thick

5 But I know his name, he's called Mr. D.

6 And one of these days he's gonna set you free

7 Human skulls is hangin' right 'round his neck

8 The palms of my hands is clammy and wet

9 Lord, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

10 Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

11 Dancin', Lord, keep your hand off me

12 Dancin' with Mr. D., with Mr. D., with Mr. D.

13 Will it be poison put in my glass

14 Will it be slow or will it be fast?

15 The bite of a snake, the sting of a spider

16 A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night

17 Hiding in a corner in New York City

18 Lookin' down a fourty-four in West Virginia

19 I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

20 Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

21 Dancin', Lord, keep your hand off me

22 Dancin' with Mr. D., with Mr. D., with Mr. D.

23 One night I was dancin' with a lady in black

24 Wearin' black silk gloves and a black silk hat

25 She looked at me longin' with black velvet eyes

26 She gazed at me strange all cunning and wise

27 Then I saw the flesh just fall off her bones

28 The eyes in her skull was burning like coals

29 Lord, have mercy, fire and brimstone

30 I was dancin' with Mrs. D.

31 Lord, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

32 I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

33 Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free

34 Dancin', dancin'
