Letra

[Verse 1]
We were staying in a warehouse near the Pulaski Bridge
In Greenpoint, in Brooklyn
The Delfonics were overflowing from Hot 97
Deep soul
The kinda soul that blows cold
As cold New York in December
This would only happen once
We had no hot heat, no running water
[Verse 2]
But earlier
We had been discussing
Glissant, Fanon and Breton
Ruminating upon Ted Joans
And Bob Kauffman
Before heading into the Village
And James
He was the greatest dancer
In the club that night
[Verse 3]
I had to stop to watch him spin
When he threw his hands up and twirled
Voguing into something ecstaticas
As the sweat kept dripping from the walls of the basement
[Verse 4]
He threw his shirt open
To Archie Bell and the Drells
He threw his head back
To somersault in his skin
[Verse 5]
James!
James!
[Verse 6]
The floor upstairs was different
It was all orange haze and house
More mellow the tempo, more easy on the knees
It was cool
That is until a
A tall, black and white dog entered the dance
It had walked all the way from some dirt skid village in Trinidad
To New York
Where it walked onto the dance floor wagging its tail
[Verse 7]
To bite them on their ankle
To bite them on the knee
To bite them while they dancing
To bite them
[Verse 8]
The dog bark hard in the people place
The dog bus a laugh in the DJ face
The dog threw a bottle in the people dance
The dog press a button and the DJ jump
[Verse 9]
And then to stand at the door
Holding a razor blade rub with garlic
So people running out
Wouldn't know they get cut when they running out and get cut
Stupid - stupid
[Verse 10]
And when I told James that he was a dancer
With hips of precision
That he could move
— He leapt
And clicked his heels on St Marks Place
'That's what they say', he said
That's what they say!
[Chorus]
James!
James!
And the DJ jump
James!
James!
James!
James!
James!
