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.
