[Chorus]
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
To make some love
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And make some love
I can feel it in the air
Feel it up above
Feel the tension everywhere
There is too much blood
Too much blood, well all right

[Verse 1]
Everything you see on the movie screen is tame
Everything's going to be arranged
A friend of mine was this Japanese
He had a girlfriend in Paris
He asked to date her in six months
And eventually, she said yes
You know?
Took her to his apartment, cut off her head
Put the rest of her body in the refrigerator, ate her piece by piece
Put her in the refrigerator, put her in the freezer
And when he ate her
Took her bones to the Bois de Boulogne
By chance, a taxi driver noticed him
Burying the bones
You don't believe me?
Truth is stranger than fiction
We drive through there every night!

[Chorus]
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
Be number one, yeah
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And have some fun
I can feel it everywhere
Feel it up above
Feel the tension in the air
There is too much blood!
Too much blood
Too much, yeah!
Too much blood!
All right

[Verse 2]
Did you ever see Texas Chain Saw Massacre?
Horrible, wasn't It?
You know people really ask me: is it really true
You know, where you live in Texas
Is it really true what they do around there, people?
I say, "Hey man, every time I drive through the crossroads
I get scared there's a bloke running around with a fucking chain saw!"
Ooh! Ooh!
"Oh oh no, he's gonna.. oh no!
Don't saw off me leg!
Don't saw off me arm!"
When I get to the movies, you know
I'd like to see something more romantic, you know
Like An Officer and a Gentleman or something
Something you can take the wife to
You know what I mean?
Yeah!

[Chorus]
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
Be number one, yeah
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And have some fun
I can feel it everywhere
Feel it up above
Feel the tension in the air
There is too much blood, too much blood
Oh yeah
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't despair
There's still so much love
Pretty ladies, don't despair

[Outro]
Too much, too much, yeah
Too much blood, too much blood
Too much too much blood, too much blood
Too much blood, too much blood
Too much, too much, yeah
Too much blood, too much blood
Too much too much blood, too much blood
Too much blood, too much blood

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
