Dancer Lyrics - Singles - Julia Marcell

In my past life I was a dancer 

I danced my life away 

I didn't seek answers 

Was everything so perfect at that time 

Oh no I didn't care 

In my past life I was a dancer 

I danced in cabaret 

Oh you should have seen me 

I stole the crowd each night 

And all the men were craving me 

Like absinthe they were drinking 

Oh how I danced! 

In my past life I was a pianist 

Who used to play each night 

And when I was dancing 

His music was like words of love but never spoken 

But no I did not care at all 

Once came this painter 

Down to our cabaret 

He draw something for me 

It was the ugliest thing I saw 

But then again he was quite eloquent 

Then he ask me to 

pose for him 

I was like: 

no!... no... no way... well... ok 

Since then there was no 'this painter guy' anymore 

But simply 'my Henri' 

The pianist couldn't bear it: 

Such a lady but you're acting like a ho 

Still I did not care at all 

But then they threw me on the street 

And shut the door 

No man craved me anymore 

'Cause I only danced for one 

And my Henri had other plans 

Than always being there for me 

Oh how I cried! 

You may see my soul but you'll never read it all 

You may read it all but you'll never break my heart 

You may break my heart but you'll never break my will 

You might break my will but I'll always have my art! 

And I'll always have my art! 

And this is not 

About you darling 

Ohow you hurt me 

And I'm dying 

'Cause oh 

I know 

That you know 

That I know 

That we are all 

Prostitutes 

Anyway 

We sell moments of relief 

So we have to seem relieved ourselves 

So you see my Henri 

I would ask you to visit me 

For a friendly kiss or two 

'Cause once you loose that innocence 

It never hurts again
