8 Mile Dancer

Story Behind The Song

I live a short walk away from one of the many topless bars that 8 Mile is known for (you may have heard of this street via Eminem's movie last year). Although I spend way too much time and money, at least I can use the experience as a source of inspiration

Lyrics

8 Mile Dancer, such contradictive ways
Body for the customer, your eyes avert their gaze
Do they see you? Do you care?
If you're sized and prized by eyes that only know to stare
8 Mile Dancer, what do you see
In mirrors that reflect she who's personified as "me"?
Is it beauty, or is it something else?
'Cause no one should love you more than you will love yourself
I'm just a boy in your bar, watching from afar
Too scared to know how to play
But then you look my way
And I say
Dance the way that you do
Dance the way that you knew
Would prance my heart away
Dance my body to your soul
Dance its lead into gold
Dance me the courage to say
I'd love to love you someday

8 Mile dancer, this boy would like to know
Who you come home to when morning ends your show
Who's arms embrace you while you sleep?
Who's shoulder do you cry on when your eyes can't help but weep?
I'm just a boy in your bar.....
Chorus
I believe a dancer is just an exception to the cultural quo
While we all wallow in our own faults they've learned to let that go
Chorus
