Kings of Leon - Revelry Lyrics

What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the night so high I don't want to come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I've found

In the dark of the night I could hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if you're ever around
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground

See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry

Born to run, baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind in my back I don't ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me were the best of friends from the start

So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

And I told myself boy away you go, it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods in the dark of the night
Paleness of the old moonlight everything just felt so incomplete

Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

  i started listening to kings of leon because of a woman i met online shortly after a break up. i think this song has tons of meaning and relates to my life right now. im still heart broken. i had a good woman, my mouth ruined it. i think it means he was dreaming of the joy and excitement he felt when he was in love

  Awesome song, as someone else by far the best song on the album, I never knew they had this many albums,Like alot of people I guess I only really started hearing about them when "Sex on Fire" came out. I hope they have many more albums to come.

  Oh yeah anonymous even though ill be hurting inside for just a little while I think that it is important that people make this the theme song of your life for just a little while.
  
  Makes you a more complete person. I know that someday ill be glad that ive felt this way before.

  A song of a broken man who realises what he had and lost for the cheap but powerful lie... Revelry( carefree partying) is a stage of life best left in the early twenties. Love lasts for all seasons of life. Dont make this song the theme song of your life people!!!
