[Verse 1]
He cut a stunning figure on the dance floor
The people came from miles and miles
A graceful gait and deathless execution
He elevated every style
The hometown daughters clutched their heaving chests
When they watched him turn his pirouettes
"Will you forget us when you're famous?"
He joined the touring company by and by

[Refrain]
And they were crying that same day
The greatest living dancer, he left no answer

[Verse 2]
He toured the country and he toured abroad
You should have heard the way they would applaud
His reputation didn't just precede him
It led the dancer by his nose
But they were faceless watching every show
Another city and another standing O
And the attention went to his head, yeah
Not unlike Isadora

[Refrain]
It made the places blend with things
People fall between them
You never see them fall
Never see them fall
Never see them fall
Never see them fall
[Verse 5]
A tragic limited engagement
He danced the tango Argentine
In front of millions of Brazilians
A fall like they had never seen or heard, a crash

[Refrain]
And there was crying the same day
The greatest living dancer: he'd never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again

[Outro]
You got me running out of time again (Never dance again)
You got me running out of time again (Never dance again)
You got me running out of time again (Never dance again)
You got me running out of, out of time again (Never dance again)
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
Never dance again
