GOLDEN EARRING lyrics : "They Dance"

(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
Down in the latin quarter
Down on dead-end street

Down in the ba!@&(t brother
That's where I'm bound to be
Trading payday weekly

For a welfare check
My baby's cryin' crazy
Ain't seen nothing yet

Own a cardboard shelter
With a classic view on Rio
Sellin' cigarettes to the tourists down below

Girl's a sixteen year old carnival queen
Too poor to strike a match
If you know what I mean , If you know what I mean

But they dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition

That your soul belongs
Your soul belongs to music
They dance

Not too far from the ghetto
Life has a different feel  
Food has a different flavour

Boot tap a different beat
Doberman's will be watchin'
Your every single move

You know you can't trust a stranger
Baby, oh ain't that the truth
Oh, ain't that the truth now

They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition

That your soul belongs , your soul belongs to music
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it

They dance, it's such an old tradition  
Their souls belongs , their soul belongs to music
That's why they dance


They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't live without it

But they dance, it's such an old tradition
Your soul belongs , your soul belongs to music
That's why you dance
