Officially appears on New (Collector's Edition)
“Demons Dance” is an outtake from the recording sessions of NEW, officially released in October 2014 as part of the Collector’s Edition of New of NEW. The song had been first heard live during the rehearsals for Paul’s concert at the Bonnaroo festival on June 13th 2013.
During his Twitter Q&A on October 30th, 2014, Paul had this funny comment about Demons Dance:
What is the meaning to the NEW released song ‘Devils Dance’ and what inspired it?
‘Demons Dance’? Lord knows what that’s about!…
Paul McCartney
I can't ask you to thrill me
That be asking too much
I can't ask you to fulfill my expectations
That you gave me after we first touched
But the feeling that's been building inside me
Is too hard to resist
I can't wait much longer 'til you tell me baby
There's some chance we'll get together maybe
Sooner or later I'll be in with half a chance
I can't wait 'til I hear you tell me that you want me.
'til then my dreams are gonna haunt me
Got my demons doing such a happy dance
Exorcise my demons
Cast them out today
Only you can do it
Make them go away
Let me know you love me
Tell me there's a chance
I don't want to sit and watch my
Demons dance
Watch my demons dance
Watch my demons dance
Demons dance
Girl I want you to do it
I'm been waiting so long
Do you have to put me through those complications
When you know I try hard not to be wrong
But, but the feeling that's been building inside me
Is too hard to resist
I can't wait much longer 'til you tell me baby
There's some chance we'll get together maybe
Sooner or later I'll be in with half a chance
I can't wait 'til I hear you tell me that you want me.
'til then my dreams are gonna haunt me
Got my demons doing such a happy dance
Come on exorcise my demons
Cast them out today
Only you can do it
Make them go away
Let me know you love me
Tell me there's half a chance
I can't sit around and watch those
Demons dance
Watch my demons dance
Watch my demons dance
Oh no
Demons dance
Oh no
Demons dance
Oh watch those demons dance baby
