dancing in paradise

bruce cockburn

praying mantis on screen

canoes prowl reef in early morning sun

as it flashes on the rhythmic fall of weed cutter's cutlass blade

everybody's got something to sell besides the obvious dollars and dope

aloe rub

starfish

vegetable patties

braid your hair miss and bush doctor cures

sudden angry eruption between aloe peddler and man with property to protect

muscular security guard with truncheon of twisted wire

kiss my blood clot" she hisses and they're enemies for life

Full Lyrics: dancing in paradise - bruce cockburn
