Gold mouth lady mix a drink for me
Lay beside me a solid company
You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack
Lean clean woman lay a kiss on me
My love is strong like a raging sea

Your laser love is like a heart attack
Dance dance dance till the crack of dawn
Dance dance dance till your shoes are worn
You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack
You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack

T. Rex

T. Rex were a British rock band, formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex, releasing four underground folk albums under the name. Tony Visconti (their producer for several albums) claimed in a documentary on the band that he had taken to using the abbreviated term "T. Rex" as a shorthand, something that initially irritated Bolan, who gradually came around to the idea and officially shortened the band's name to "T. Rex" at roughly the same time they started having big hits (shortly after going electric). more »
