Jimmy Buffett La vie Dansante Lyrics:
La Vie Dansante By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley,
Will Jennings 1984 [The Dancing Life]
They can come take it all away Break your heart by
the light of day Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely See the ships heading for the rocks See
the time melting off of the clocks There's a light
shatters all the locks And saves me It saves me

That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante On
the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante Why don't you
wander and follow La Vie Dansante On the night
wind that takes you just where you want That's all
you want La Vie Dansante

Miss the beat if you close your eyes Every night
wears a new disguise And I live when a new
surprise surrenders

Feel it all with a willing heart Every stop is a
place to start If you know how to play the part
with feeling I play with feelings

That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante On
the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante Why don't you
wander and follow La Vie Dansante On the night
wind that takes you just where you want That's all
you want La Vie Dansante

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante On
the night wind that takes us just where we want
That's all we want La Vie Dansante Why don't you
wander and follow the dancing life On the night
wind that takes you just where you want That's all
you want La Vie Dansante

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante On
the night wind that takes us just where we want
That's all we want La Vie Dansante

La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la
la la la la la la la That's all we want...

@ALBUM NOTES: Back Cover - "What goes around
comes around" say wise men in bars. Any good
artist feels compelled to change, if not doomed to
change, and vary his art as much as he varies his
life. Starting from the center, Buffett has shot

off to a number of usual and unusual planets. Now
in RIDDLES IN THE SAND we see him coming home not
quite on A-1A, but with the same richness of
feeling that informed much of his earlier work.
Years ago, down in Riviera Beach in southeast
Texas, I saw some cowboys ride into town on
horseback for a dinner of GULF shrimp AND oysters.
If you were Superman you could have seen Key
WESTERN off there in the distance. This album has
a musical range expanding in an arc from Bob Wills
to Bob Marley with the Gulf somehow always there:
a low and high tidal range, sweet and piney like
the Delta soil, Caribbean Islands white with coral
dust, ladies as moist and sweet as a fresh broken
conch. Rather than a return, Buffett is starting
out from the center again, with a vast expansion
both musically and emotionally. The music is a
triumph for an American sound. - Jim Harrison
