The Vertical Expression (Of Horzontal Desire) - The Bellamy Brothers

When she asked me to dance I said, "I have two left feet."

And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet

And she said, "Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on fire."

It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel

And I really can't translate the way she made me feel

And the music played on and the mercury just went higher

It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

We did the samba, the mambo

The tango, the two-step while we romanced

And when the music got fast

We just held to each other and slow danced.

--- Instrumental ---

I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night

And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the light

She said, "Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars retire."

It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire...
