Dancing Cheek to Cheek

Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know (life that you know)
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called the dance floor, and here's what it's for, so

Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body move to the music
(Move to the music) hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body go with the flow
(Go with the flow) you know you can do it

All you need is your own imagination
So use it, that's what it's for (that's what it's for)
Go inside for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door (open up the door)
It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it

Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body groove to the music
(Groove to the music) hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue (vogue, vogue)
Let your body go with the flow
(Go with the flow) you know you can do it

Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful, magical
Life's a ball so get up on the dance floor

Vogue (vogue), let your body move to the music
(Move to the music) hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue (vogue, vogue)
Let your body go with the flow
(Go with the flow) you know you can do it, do it

Vogue (vogue)
Beauty's where you find it (move to the music)
Vogue (vogue)
Beauty's where you find it (go with the flow)

Greta Garbo and Monroe, Deitrich and DiMaggio
Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean on the cover of a magazine
Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean, picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rodgers dance on air
They had style, they had grace, Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too, Bette Davis, we love you
Ladies with an attitude, fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it
Vogue
Vogue

Ooh, you've got to let your body move to the music
Ooh, you've got to just let your body go with the flow
Ooh, you've got to
Vogue, vogue, vogue...

Why doesn't anybody dance like that anymore? Sometime around the end of the 60's people got the notion in their heads that you don't need someone else to dance with, just someone to dance at. I am often asked if I dance by women I meet and I say "no" because I know that they mean by todays definiton of dancing with a partner. Whatever happened to having your dance partners body in your arms, moving as one across the dance floor in a sexual rythm? Kids today don't know what they are missing...just a hopefull romantic is me. ;)
