Into: Bsus4, E
A voEice like honey, no one else could fBsus4ill his shoBes
The tEime and the weather, the headlines and the lBsus4ocal neBws
He lays it dC#mown with perfection and gBrace
Done by nEoon, he goes home to his plAace
Where he slEeeps and he waBits for the nC#mightB  E  
JuEst before midnight he gets up, gets Bsus4out of bBed
A cEan of Red Bull, a tab of X to cBsus4lear his hBead
He shoots his cC#muffs, now he’s headed downtBown
Picks up one lEife, puts another one doAwn
And his bEody hums and the muDsic’s playing
Chorus:
DaGnce, Soterios JCohnGson, daDnce
It’s a cBmold world, nobody uCnderstDands
The feeEmling you cAan’t keep inDside
GGo, Soterios JCohnsGon, gDo
All the club kBmids are watching your glCowstick gDlow
With the lEmight of a trAuth you can’t hDide
That the nCews is the nGews, but the daDnce goes oB7n foreEver
HEe shimmies his shoulders, undulates his sBsus4lender hBips
ArEms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pBsus4outs his liBps
A circle fC#morms, everybody comes 'roBund
Just to hEear the incredible soAund
Of a genEius smashing expectDations
[Chorus]
Bridge:
HeE’s danBcing, he’s a maGchine
Like Dno one, that they’ve ever Bbseen
He’s flyFing, he’s living a Ddream_____B7__E  
The maEgic fades as the sun comes up, it’s tBsus4ime he Bgoes
A hEand on his shoulder, he turns around: it’s Bsus4Teri GrBoss
He takes her hC#mand, spins her body just Bso
He holds her cElose, he will never let Ago
As the room expElodes, they daDnce like angels
chorus:
DGance, Soterios JCohnsGon, daDnce
It’s a cold wBmorld, nobody uCnderstaDnds
The feeEmling you caAn’t keep inDside
GGo, Soterios JoChnsGon, gDo
All the club kBmids are watching your gClowstick gDlow
With the lEmight of a tAruth you can’t hDide
That the nCews is the nGews, but the dDance goes on
That the nCews is the nGews, but the dDance goes on
That the nCews is the nGews, but the dDance goes oB7n forevEer

E Bsus4 B

A voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes

E Bsus4 B

The time and the weather, the headlines and the local news

C#m B

He lays it down with perfection and grace

E A

Done by noon, he goes home to his place

E B C#m B E

Where he sleeps and he waits for the night

E Bsus4 B

Just before midnight he gets up, gets out of bed

E Bsus4 B

A can of Red Bull, a tab of X to clear his head

C#m B

He shoots his cuffs, now he’s headed downtown

E A

Picks up one life, puts another one down

E D

And his body hums and the music’s playing

Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance

Bm C D

It’s a cold world, nobody understands

Em A D

The feeling you can’t keep inside

Go, Soterios Johnson, go

Bm C D

All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow

Em A D

With the light of a truth you can’t hide

C G D B7 E

That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever

E Bsus4 B

He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips

E Bsus4 B

Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips

A circle forms, everybody comes 'round

E A

Just to hear the incredible sound

E D

Of a genius smashing expectations

[Chorus]

He’s dancing, he’s a machine

D Bb

Like no one, that they’ve ever seen

F D B7 E

He’s flying, he’s living a dream_______

E Bsus4 B

The magic fades as the sun comes up, it’s time he goes

E Bsus4 B

A hand on his shoulder, he turns around: it’s Teri Gross

C#m B

He takes her hand, spins her body just so

E A

He holds her close, he will never let go

E D

As the room explodes, they dance like angels

It’s a cold world, nobody understands

The feeling you can’t keep inside

With the light of a truth you can’t hide
