Open Mike Eagle - A History of Modern Dance lyrics

rate me

First step is intention, second step is a glance

Then divine intervention, mixing science, religion

Pretending like we giants, promise I was the biggest

For the lovers of dancing this is color enhancing

Two strangers passing on the metro, what were the chances?

People walk into circles, every audience listens

They taking turns judging, everybody got issues

I be moving my feet and on varied tables I'm eating on

Up, we're cutting a rug, was is something I said?

Put on Erykah's album, I can tear up a mountain

Get your eagle on, no, more peregrine falcon

They sit in the darkness

They connect they courting naked in different apartments

Don't say nothing that's awkward

Take them up on that offer

And you'll be partnered up for life flying up in a saucer

And they trying to cat daddy, I'm hella allergic

I've been doing my research so I know that move

I studied them all, I seen that swing

I've been watching it for hours so don't get too close

She kick real high, they swing real low

I done been in that position so I know that spell

I read that book

I know those lines, I see 'em coming back around

First step is intention, second step is a glance

Then divine intervention, mix of science, religion

Environmentalist dance, make 'em sign a petition

For the lovers of dancing this is color enhancing

Two strangers passing on the freeway, what were the chances?

Don't be acting embarrassed, that's the wackiest awareness

They get it in before their skin starts cracking and tearing

Heaven's not for the living

Ordained reverend and comparative monster religion

Sit in my pews

Cruise ship in the Pacific, we can bend the rules

And do the Transylvania boogie to forbidden blues

She did the peanut butter jelly, ain't nobody looking

The soul train, line's long and it's sloppily crooking

The chicken noodle soup and poodle skirt and hula hooping

The boots is twerking…

Ain't no keeping a distance, murdered the shadow

I've been doing my research so I know that move

I studied them all, I seen that swing

I've been watching it for hours so don't get too close

She kick real high, they swing real low

I done been in that position so I know that spell

I read that book

I know those lines, I see 'em coming back around

We can do it for safety like a factory worker

Trying to balance a beam

Skirt's floating ‘cause she's twirling around in a dream

It's the easiest hustle

You catch a swing and then you squeeze your trapezius muscles

It takes a year or two

Your old friends you done found yourself getting nearer to

Who wants to hear the truth?

Well, you can do the wop

And plug us in, we got it popping in computer shops

First step is intention, second step is a glance

Then divine intervention, mixing science, religion

Pretending like we giants, promise I was the biggest

For the lovers of dancing this is color enhancing

Two strangers passing in the hallway, what were the chances?
