[00:10.059] |
She was a late bloomer, from Penny to Janet in a blink |
[00:13.149] |
Dreamt 'bout being Josephine Baker in the mink |
[00:15.911] |
Gold make-up like the Sphinx |
[00:17.571] |
Skin made to view |
[00:19.030] |
Body ornament, performances sensational |
[00:21.423] |
From rhythm relation to titillation through |
[00:24.536] |
Demonstrations of what she's made to do |
[00:27.224] |
She always told me that she wanted to dance |
[00:29.249] |
The only time she felt worthy of romance, damn |
[00:32.665] |
I tried to told her she was worthy a chance |
[00:34.815] |
But it's hard to talk to somebody in a trance |
[00:37.709] |
I just gave her a glance, enough to sang her blues |
[00:40.659] |
Be Pablo to paint her moves, be Langston to name her hues |
[00:43.674] |
"Emily dance for me," someone said, she curtsied and turned her head |
[00:48.511] |
She posed, with knowledge and grace she gave us a taste |
[00:51.272] |
With a look on her face that could be taken for dead |
[00:53.553] |
R.I.P |
[00:54.196] |
Close your eyes,and see her dancing |
[00:59.470] |
Close your eyes,and see her dancing |
[01:04.622] |
Close your eyes,and see her dancing |
[01:10.051] |
When lights,fall on our faces |
[01:15.840] |
Are we crazy, deranged, to stand up for some change? |
[01:18.530] |
Dreams turn to schemes, which marionette pulls your strings? |
[01:21.645] |
Emily's enemy was Emily, feelin' me? |
[01:23.913] |
She only lusted the heel-toe kick to the symphony |
[01:26.538] |
And now she justified, cryin' rivers for sympathy |
[01:29.344] |
Which in end she finds out is simply misery |
[01:32.113] |
No mystery, her OnStar on destiny's roads |
[01:34.769] |
Ballerina wardrobe glowin' under the strobe |
[01:37.425] |
Twirlin' amongst dollars waitin' under the pole |
[01:40.214] |
For a slightly possible goal sometimes we sell out our soul |
[01:43.015] |
Can't help that, errrbody done felt that |
[01:45.826] |
Just ask your favorite artist whose heart has turned to pitch black |
[01:48.859] |
Ask some of these stars where they lost they sense of self at |
[01:51.561] |
Strictly being puppets in public is a setback |
[01:54.367] |
Yeah fam, that's Emily's energy |
[01:56.778] |
Errrbody's a dancer, I don't view you no differently, so dance |
[01:59.764] |
Close your eyes,and see her dancing |
[02:04.897] |
Close your eyes,and see her dancing |
[02:10.202] |
Close your eyes,and see her dancing |
[02:15.956] |
When lights,fall on our faces |
[02:21.266] |
