Into: B, E
E B
A voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes
E 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 E
Where he sleeps and he waits for the night
E B
Just before midnight he gets up, gets out of bed
E 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 C
And his body hums and the music’s playing
Chorus:
G C G D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
Bm C D
It’s a cold world, nobody understands
Em Am D
The feeling you can’t keep inside
G C G D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
Bm C D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
Em Am D
With the light of a truth you can’t hide
C G D E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever

E B
He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips
E B
Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips
C#m B
A circle forms, everybody comes 'round
E A
Just to hear the incredible sound
E D
Of a genius smashing expectations
[Chorus]
Bridge:
E B G
He’s dancing, he’s a machine
D Bb
Like no one, that they’ve ever seen
F D E
He’s flying, he’s living a dream_______
E B
The magic fades as the sun comes up, it’s time he goes
E 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
chorus:
G C G D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
Bm C D
It’s a cold world, nobody understands
Em Am D
The feeling you can’t keep inside
G C G D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
Bm C D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
Em Am D
With the light of a truth you can’t hide
C G D
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on
C G D
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on
C G D E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
