Dancing Off The Edge Of The World [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]


Dancing Off The Edge Of The World
Written by John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon
Lead Vocals by John Waite

In the rhythm of the street
The steam is rising
You can feel the heat
She puts on her make-up
Puts shoes on her feet
She's going down tonight

You can feel it from a distance
Like a nuclear bomb
She knows she's looking good
With the new dress on
And all the guys with the x-ray eyes
Check her out as she walks on by

She's a primitive girl
No jewel like money's buyin'
A slave to the rhythm
A rhythm machine
I wanna make that girl
Make that scene

There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move
Watch her melt the ice
She's in ecstasy
She spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge
Off the edge of the world

I'm looking for a hot romance
How am I gonna get that girl
When she's dancing off the edge of the world

Dancing off the edge
Watch her move

In the rhythm of the beat
She motions her body
She becomes complete
With the rock 'n roll music
It's indiscrete
It's sexual

You'd better cut her some space
Give her some air
You can try if you like
But I wouldn't dare

She don't know it yet
But this is a love affair
She's mine
All mine

She's a primitive girl
No jewel like money's buyin'
A slave to the rhythm
A rhythm machine
I wanna make that girl
Make that scene

There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move
Watch her melt the ice

She's in ecstasy
She spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge
Off the edge of the world

I'm looking for a hot romance
How am I gonna kiss that girl
When she's dancing off the edge of the world

Just look at that girl
Watch her move, yeah
Watch her groove

Everyone sees me smile
From a million miles away
All the gigolos try and try their best move
She just walks on by

There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move
Watch her melt the ice
She's in ecstasy
She spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge
Off the edge of the world

Dancing off the edge
The edge of the world yeah
Dancing off the edge
The edge of my world
Dancing off the edge

Interpretation

I love to watch that girl dance. She get's all dressed up to go to the night club and dance. She doesn't pay attention to the guys looking at her, because she just wants to dance.
