The World's Greatest Living Dancer

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
