A voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes
|
The time and the weather, the headlines and the local news
|
He lays it down with perfection and grace
|
Done by noon, he goes home to his place
|
Where he sleeps and he waits for the night
|
|
Just before midnight he gets up, gets out of bed
|
A can of Red Bull, a tab of X to clear his head
|
He shoots his cuffs, now he¡¯s headed downtown
|
Picks up one life, puts another one down
|
And his body hums and the music¡¯s playing
|
|
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
|
It¡¯s a cold world, nobody understands
|
The feeling you can¡¯t keep inside
|
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
|
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
|
With the light of a truth you can¡¯t hide
|
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
|
|
He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips
|
Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips
|
A circle forms, everybody comes 'round
|
Just to hear the incredible sound
|
Of a genius smashing expectations
|
|
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
|
It¡¯s a cold world, nobody understands
|
The feeling you can¡¯t keep inside
|
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
|
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
|
With the light of a truth you can¡¯t hide
|
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
|
|
He¡¯s dancing, he¡¯s a machine
|
Like no one, that they¡¯ve ever seen
|
He¡¯s flying, he¡¯s living a dream
|
|
The magic fades as the sun comes up, it¡¯s time he goes
|
A hand on his shoulder, he turns around: it¡¯s Teri Gross
|
He takes her hand, spins her body just so
|
He holds her close, he will never let go
|
As the room explodes, they dance like angels
|
|
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
|
It¡¯s a cold world, nobody understands
|
The feeling you can¡¯t keep inside
|
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
|
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
|
With the light of a truth you can¡¯t hide
|
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on
|
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on
|
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
|
