[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]
