I managed to convince Marci Geller to come downstairs into the studio (in her bathrobe no less) early one morning to sing this part of a smoker who used to teach dance ( a true story). Marci is a good sport and a fast study. She pulled this one off in one take. Not bad for a woman who never smoked. She's talented, that Marci Geller.

lyrics

ANOTHER LONELY DANCER

Blah blah blah bla blah blah blah and she hates to watch her kid
Complaints from another lonely dancer
Could not lose the weight that fast so her husband had to split
He left her for a skinnier lonely dancer

MG :
They say that I'm wrong, unaware or I’m crazy
I’m not really sure what they mean
They tell me I'm dated and foolish and jaded
And I should give up smoking these
I should give up smoking these

Raise the rent or blow this guy 'cause the money isn't there
It sucks for another lonely dancer
Parents died to Florida now no one's here to care
What's new for another lonely dancer?

MG :
They say that I’m wrong , unaware or I'm crazy
I'm not really sure what they mean
They tell me I'm dated and foolish and jaded
Living my life on the streets
They say that I'm useless or dumb or I’m lazy
And I should give up smoking these
I should give up smoking these...

MG : Ohh!

Pseudo FZ :
Those high school memories up on the screen

MG : Oh my god!

They were the best of times in her Jordasche™ jeans
She was the dancing queen...

MG : That's not... Oh my God!

Mirror chat with practice smiles as she tightens up her bow
Is there hope for another lonely dancer?
Puts the gun inside her purse
Tonight they're gonna know
The rage of another lonely dancer

MG:
They say that I’m wrong , unaware or I'm crazy
I'm not really sure what they mean
They tell me I'm dated and foolish and jaded
Living my life on the streets
They say that I'm useless or dumb or I’m lazy
And I should give up smoking these
I should give up smoking these...

(coughing fit)

MG : I don't know what they're talking about!." (coughs to death)
