Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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
