Jonathan Coulton - Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance (Demo) lyrics

Voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes The time and the weather, headlines and the local news He lays it down with perfection and grace Done by noon, he goes home to his place Where he sleeps and he waits for the night Just before midnight he gets up, gets out of bed A can of Red Bull, a tab of X to clear his head He shoots his cuffs, now he's headed downtown Picks up one life, puts another one down And his body hums and the music's playing Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance It's a cold world, nobody understands It's a feeling you can't keep inside Go, Soterios Johnson, go All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow With the light of a truth you can't hide That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips A crowd has formed, they are gathering 'round Just to hear the incredible sound Of a genius smashing expectations Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance It's a cold world, nobody understands It's a feeling you can't keep inside Go, Soterios Johnson, go All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow With the light of a truth you can't hide That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever He's dancing, he's a machine Like no one, that they've ever seen He's flying, he's living a dream The magic fades as the sun comes up, it's time he goes He takes a quick shower, shaves, and puts on office clothes He hails a cab in the early grey dawn Gets to work and turns his microphone on And his dulcet tones wake up this city Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance It's a cold world, nobody understands It's a feeling you can't keep inside, oh Go, Soterios Johnson, go All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow With the light of a truth you can't hide That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
