She was a late bloomer, from Penny to Janet in a blink Dreamt 'bout being Josephine Baker in the mink Gold make-up like the Sphinx Skin made to view Body ornament, performances sensational From rhythm relation to titillation through Demonstrations of what she's made to do She always told me that she wanted to dance The only time she felt worthy of romance, damn I tried to told her she was worthy a chance But it's hard to talk to somebody in a trance I just gave her a glance, enough to sang her blues Be Pablo to paint her moves, be Langston to name her hues "Emily dance for me," someone said, she curtsied and turned her head She posed, with knowledge and grace she gave us a taste With a look on her face that could be taken for dead R.I.P Close your eyes,and see her dancing Close your eyes,and see her dancing Close your eyes,and see her dancing When lights,fall on our faces Are we crazy, deranged, to stand up for some change?
