A                  F#m
overload, oh what a match we are!
       E
as we romance along
             D
towards the firescape
A
open fire
        F#m
forever in your arms
          E
splendid time we have
        D
doing what i dread

C#m    Bm
oh my lord
      C#m       Bm B
can i buy some time

Chorus:
A            F#m
i'm learning to dance
        E
dum-ditty-dance
     D
i'm dancing, ok?

Overlord
Lord of the underworld
Full-of-wonder-girl
As we twist and twirl

Hot and dry
High in my cloven heels
This is how real love feels
As we prance and die

Oh my Lord
Such a fancy fire

Chorus:
As we dance
You sure can dance
Dance, dance

E                    D
you i will never forget
   C#m                    F#m
i hope you'll remember me later
        E                       D
we're swimming in a puddle of sweat
    C#m                       F#m
i'm hot baby, don't burn your fingers
     E                        D
i'm tenderly served on your plate
     Bm           B         A
the band must continue to play

Chorus:
So we can dance
I love to dance
Baby, dance with me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh uh ooh)
Yeah
I can dance
To love is to dance
Now dance me home
