about

Written for famed SF dancer Carol Doda 💃🏻🕺🏻

lyrics

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, cause the melody is bringing me down
Keep yourself from sobbing drunken tears, catch a feeling’ that you’re coming around

Too late for money but they’re shaking their bills, nothing comes on easy like your white heels
You take pleasure in pulling their trigger but now’s my time where I say
Funny your reasons for dancing that way are the same exact ideas on why I couldn’t stay
There’s something to it, you swear its your case, it’s the deepest bottom feeling
When I look, when I look. Up to your face

Down on Broadway, the witching hour, one-armed bandits scoop up all your will to power
So she’s takes her face off & goes to Vesuvio, the only real father that she ever
I need darkness as much as I need light, she declares upon indulging with all those in the night
And there’s something in it, she swears its her place, it’s the deepest bottom feeling
When I look, when I look. Up to your face

When I see you up there on that brass rail, all I can see, a tale that will not fail
A nocturnal vision, a denizen of the night, she moves in praise of darkness under the howl of city lights
So trip it as you go, on that light fantastic toe, the Gold Room that surrounds you is the only home you did know
But there’s something for it, they will try to replace It’s the deepest bottom feeling
When we look, we all look. Into your face
