St. Vincent - Paris Is Burning

St. Vincent's song "Paris Is Burning" from her album "Marry Me" (2007). It's been beautifully choreographed and danced in SYTYCD Season 7 first live show.

Lyrics:
I write to give word the war is over
Send my cinders home to mother
They gave me a medal for my valor
Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is
Come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear"

We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair paris is burning after all

Oh no oh no

Enclosed in this letter there's a picture
Black and white for your refridgerator
Sticks and stones have made me smarter
it's words that cut me under my armor they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is,
come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear"

We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair paris is burning after all

Oh no oh no

Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris to the ground
Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris ashes now

@NikkieFreakshow ,

There's nowhere on youtube and I'm not sure I'll be uploading it any soon, so try to find the whole episode online vistiing sites like megavideo or download it via torrent. It's the fifth episode of the 7th season and it's the first dance after the opening one. ENJOY!!
