Snake Dance

Take my hand said Cleopatra Take me to the fires to burn Save your passion and your kinship Take me to the flames the flames The flames the flames Pay my price in pearls of wisdom Tell me stories of my fame Scented oil on troubled water Take my love in vain Break the heart break the heart Break the heart of my very soul Cast it on the desert sand This dance catches fire with me Take my body clean of blame I am the heat inside the flame Take my body clean of shame I am the heat inside the flame I am the heat I am the heat Play my song the serpent whispered Golden skin and eyes of flame Painted heart and painted nails She ran her fingers down the scales Just back from the snake dance baby I love you when you shed your skin Just back from the snake dance baby Open the door lets go in Just back from the snake dance baby I love you when you burn me up Just back from the snake dance baby This dance catches fire with me Snake dance
