He cut a stunning figure on the dance floor.
|
The people came from miles and miles.
|
A graceful gait, depthless execution:
|
He elevated every style.
|
|
The home town daughters clutched their heaving chests
|
When they watched him turn his pirouettes.
|
"Will you forget us when you're famous?"
|
He joined the touring company by and by...
|
And they were crying that same day.
|
The greatest living dancer; you left no answer.
|
|
He toured the country and he toured abroad.
|
You should have heard the way they would applaud.
|
His reputation didn't just precede him;
|
It led the dancer by his nose.
|
|
But they were faceless watching every show:
|
Another city and another standing O...
|
And the attention went to his head, yeah,
|
Not unlike Isadora.
|
|
It made the places blend with things.
|
People fall between them;
|
You never see them fall.
|
Never see them fall.
|
Never see them fall.
|
Never see them fall.
|
|
A tragic limited engagement:
|
He danced the tango Argentine
|
In front of millions of Brazilians:
|
A fall like they had never seen, or heard: A crash!
|
|
And there was crying the same day.
|
The greatest living dancer: he never danced again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
|
You got me running out of time again.
|
You got me running out of time again.
|
You got me running out of time again.
|
You got me running out of, out of time again.
|
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
|
Never dance again.
