joni mitchell – the boho dance (2022 remaster) lyrics
[verse 1]
down in the cellar in the boho zone
i went looking for some sweet inspiration
oh well, just another hard+time band
with negro affectations
i was a hopeful in rooms like this
when i was working cheap
it’s an old romance, the boho dance
it hasn’t gone to sleep
[chorus]
but even on the scuffle
the cleaner’s press was in my jeans
and any eye for detail
caught a little lace along the seams
[verse 2]
and you were in the parking lot
subterranean by your own design
the virtue of your style inscribed
on your contempt for mine
jesus was a beggar, he was rich in grace
and solomon kept his head in all his glory
it’s just that some steps outside the boho dance
have a fascination for me
[chorus]
a camera pans the c+cktail hour
behind a blind of potted palms
and finds a lady in a paris dress
with runs in her nylons
[verse 3]
you read those books where luxury
comes as a guest to take a slave
books where artists in n0ble poverty
go like virgins to the grave
don’t you get sensitive on me
’cause i know you’re just too proud
you couldn’t step outside the boho dance now
even if good fortune allowed
[chorus]
like a priest with a p+rnographic watch
looking and longing on the sly
sure, it’s stricken from your uniform
but you can’t get it out of your eyes
[chorus]
nothing is capsulized in me
on either side of town
the streets were never really mine
not mine, none mine these glamour gowns
