Vertical Expression (of Horizontal Desire)

When she asked me to dance I said, "no, no I have two left feet."
And then she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
She said, "Hold me as close as you can, "my bodies on fire"
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire

So, we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
And I really can't translate the way she made me feel
And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire

We did the samba, the mambo
The tango, the two-step while we romanced
And when the music got fast
We just held to each other and slow danced

I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
And as we walked into her place she reached out to dim the light
She said, "Dance with me darlin', 'til the moon and the stars retire"
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire

It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire
