Story Behind The Song
My wife dancing in the living room of our first house... For me she was... For me she danced... For me she danced with a broken toe... For me she did it without my knowing and with a smile... I love you Francesca...
Song Description
A heart pounding, spine shaking journey through man finding himself in the womb of woman... The man stands before the mirror and finds his true nature, his true purpose, his divine will screaming to dance... Union of the masculine and feminine... a trembling boy now stands firm in manhood... Giving up the pre-conceived role, he danced till the demons died...

Lyrics
- Dance till The Demon?s Die -
One for the money and two for the show, I?m gonna find myself in God
and give to the people that matter the most as I hold myself to love
feeling the fire of the Goddess within, I?m gonna roll my sleeves up high
I shutter and shake and I grip and grind, I?m gonna dance till the demons die
I shutter and shake and I grip and grind
I?m gonna dance till the demons die
I give my soul to the Rock-N-Roll
As I lift my wings and fly
I drink from the spring of eternal life, I?m gonna treat my body well
I sit in the shade of a great oak tree, as I sing to the world around
I listen to the song of the birds and the bees and to the rhythm of the river wild
I shutter and shake and I grip and grind, I?m gonna dance till the demons die
I shutter and shake and I grip and grind
I?m gonna dance till the demons die
I give my soul to the Rock-N-Roll
As I lift my wings and fly
One for the money and two for the show, well I found myself in God
I give to the people who matter the most as I hold myself to love
Feeling the fire of the Goddess within, well I?ve rolled my sleeves up high
I shutter and shake and I grip and grind, I?m gonna dance till the demons die
I shutter and shake and I grip and grind
I?m gonna dance till the demons die
I give my soul to the Rock-N-Roll
As I lift my wings and fly
