"Dance With the Devil" is such and amazing song ! I just came across it the other day and I have played it at least 100 times so far! Its so incredibly amazing musically and lyriclly!!! Is this an offical release ? And why and the hell was it no put on the soundtrack 4 "Batman" ? Its beyond me why this song was not used on the soundtrack ! Share your thoughts on this kick ass song ! demon

Cunning liar, eternal fire
Demon clever, promise 4ever
The curious try and always die

Live in fear, the devil is near
Can U feel his breath? Pray 4 death
The curious try and always die

"U men point those search lights up on the tower right now - move, move!"

Have no Savior, have no faith
Never look 4 Heaven's gate
Devil's children, no love inside
There is a soul, but it has died

Devil's children, no love inside
There is a soul, but it has died
And it cries, and it cries…

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
Give up 2 the feeling and don't try 2 fight
He wants your soul and he wants it 2night
Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
Close your eyes 2 love and die

"U know, without U I just wouldn't wanna go on"

"It's as though we were made 4 each other
Beauty and the Beast
Of course if anyone else calls U Beast
I'll rip their lungs out"

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
heart
To exercise your True Will, is the Perfect Freedom.

demon Dance With The Devil
Intended for Batman, this dark eerie track utilizes a drum machine, piano, synth, and the voice of The Joker. The song is based on the scene where The Joker holds Vicki Vale hostage in Gotham's bell tower. Prince warns to be cautious of the devil's tricks. Some lyrics can be seen in the liner notes of the soundtrack.

It took me a while to get tired of this song. it is so sinister and dark and moody. I love the keys and haunting sounds they give. Especially the Vicky Vale scream right in the middle

P has stated, very much like he did about The Black Album, that he didn't want to release this song because he felt it to be "too negative". The theme is very similar to a Rolling Stones song, damn near with the same title.

recently i had this song on repeat over and over since i could relate 2 the lyrics of this song...if u listen closely tho, the song does have a loneliness pain factor in the way it's sung and written ..masterpiece of a song
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

from what I´ve heard, it seems to have a bit of a typical MJ beat running through it.

too dark for batman though. Funny to hear the Jack samples.
