His name was
Bacchus
Through him
they came to know the vine
To learn to drink wine
And they thought even better
They thought intoxication divine
What is greatest in human
achievement involves
some element of intoxication
Without it, life would be uninteresting
Within, it is dangerous
Wine to us is only a symbol
Like in the
Christian sacrament
Intoxication
We seek this enthusiasm
Of union with the
God
In the dance of life
He gave you air so you can breathe
Keep you alive from your
head to your feet
You've got a heart so you can feel
Gave you a mind so you
can think that it's real
He made the whole of land and sea
Kept like a promise just for you and me
He gave us everything we need
Celebrate up on the
mountainside today
Everybody dance now
He put the beat in space with time
Hung up the moon and stars
and made them shine
He gave us music, made us sing
He made the circus,
then he puts you in the rings
Everybody dance now
Everybody dance now
It's getting hard to breathe in
city
Everybody dance now
His red and bleeding face
Oh, the great mother's mountain flame
I am set free and name by name
My back goes out the belly free
Shake your leg in the air
A thousand feet over
Kilimanjaro
It's so crazy, boys,
you don't have any idea why this is all happening.
You gotta dance now
Put your leg in the air,
next to your cup
I've been a fool,
but I can't stop
Come on y 'all, let's get it
