The World's Greatest Living Dancer Lyrics

He cut a stunning figure on the dance floor
The people came from miles and miles
A graceful gait
Depthless execution
He elevated every turn

The hometown daughters clutched their heaving chests
When they watched him turn a pirouette
"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, he left no answer

He toured the country and he toured abroad
You should've heard the way they would applaud
His reputation didn't just precede him
It led the dancer by his nose

But they were faithful watching every show
Another city and another standing O
As the attention went to his head, yeah
Not unlike his fedora

It made the places that (???)
And people come between us
We 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
He brought out millions of Brazilians
Like all that they had never seen, or heard, a crash

And they were crying that same day
The greatest living dancer never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced 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 time again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
Never danced again
