The Boho Dance Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

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 

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

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

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 

A camera pans the cocktail hour 

Behind a blind of potted palms 

And finds a lady in a Paris dress 

With runs in her nylons 

Photos 

You read those books where luxury 

Comes as a guest to take a slave 

Books where artists in noble 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 

Like a priest with a pornographic watch 

Looking and longing on the sly 

Sure it's stricken from your uniform 

But you can't get it out of your eyes 

Nothing is capsulized in me 

On either side of town 

The streets were never really mine 

Not mine these glamour gowns
