Dancing in the Devil's Shoes

Текст песни Leslie Odom, Jr. - Dancing in the Devil's Shoes

You are not spreading the Word of the Lord
You're part of a righteous con
Just take a look at this man you follow
Look at the show you put on
The things you're doin' are hard to swallow
Yet you don't see where you are
I know you think you're walking with Jesus, girl
Parading down the path of the Lord
You are steppin' pretty sweet on your fancy feet
But you ain't got a clue what you're heading toward

You are dancing, dancing in the devil's shoes
Trampling on the Lord's taboos
Kickin' up a mess of blues
Better look at yourselves!
You're dancing
The dancers gotta pay their dues
Folks, your souls are yours to lose
And soon you're gonna have to choose
So, choose!
Keep ritzin', or step it on back to the Lord

Don't pay my brother no mind!
I'm only tellin' 'em what they know was true
I mean, look at you, Ornella!
Me?
Just what would Daddy say?
Who cares?
And you think I've lost my way?

Just take a look at the line you're preaching
Look how you're putting on airs
Well, I don't know who you think you're reaching
Let's face it, nobody cares
You think you're really walking with Jesus, bro?
Sashaying down a carpet of prayer?
Well, whatever's up your butt, it sure makes you strut
But brother, it ain't Jesus who put it there

You're dancing, dancing in the Devil's shoes
Tripping on an ego boost
Minding people's Ps and Qs
Better look at yourself!
You're dancing
And dancers gotta pay their dues
God won't take no IOUs
Soon you're gonna have to choose
So, choose!
Keep ritzing, or step it on back to the Lord!

In your hearts, you know you've lost your way
Just think about what I'm saying when you're working that revival tonight
That is enough, Isaiah
Now these people have been good to me
And I need you to show them some respect
Can you do that for me?
Oh, I can show them respect, Mama
But what about the people that are coming tonight?
Who's respecting them?

You need a new step (keep dancin')
You ought to try a new step
Keep dancin'
Why don't you try a new step?
Keep dancing
You've got to try a new step
Keep dancin'!
Keep your hands a-clappin' (keep dancing!)
Get up on your feet
Nothing's gonna happen (keep dancing)
Sitting in your seats
Keep your toes a-tapping, tip-tapping to the beat
Why don't you throw your hat, keep dancing (you've got to do it)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon now, dancing (you've got to do it, boy)
It's gonna happen (keep dancing)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon now, don't try to fight it (keep dancing)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon now
Give yourself over
Give yourself over
Give yourself, give yourself, oh

Oh, dancing (dancing, yeah yeah)
Keep dancing (yeah, oh yeah)
C'mon c'mon c'mon now
Reach into your pockets
Keep dancing (c'mon c'mon c'mon now)
Reach into your pockets
Now now, give yourself over
Give yourself over
Give yourself, give yourself over
Yeah yeah yeah
