Her breath began to speak 
As she stood right in front of me 
The colour of her eyes 
Were the colour of insanity 
 [bad word] beneath her wave 
Like a ship, I could not reach her shore 
We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor

Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, a little more next to me 
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Pressed against her face 
I could feel her insecurity 
Her mother'd been a [bad word] 
And her father was obscurity 
But nothin' ever came 
From a life that was a simple one 
So pull yourself together girl 
And have a little fun

Well she took me by the hand 
I could see she was a fiery one 
Her legs ran all the way 
Up to heaven and past Avalon 
Tell me somethin' girl, what it is you have in store 
She [bad word] with me now 
On the Devil's Dance Floor

Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, a little more next to me 
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, a little more next to me 
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

The apple now is sweet 
Oh much sweeter than it ought to be 
Another little bite 
I don't think there is much hope for me 
The sweat beneath her brow 
Travels all the way 
An' headin' south 
This bleedin' heart's cryin' 
Cause there's no way out

Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, a little more next to me 
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, a little more next to me 
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o 
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
