Boho Dance

You read those books where luxury
Comes as a guest to take a slave
Books where artists in noble poverty
Go like virgins to the grave
Don't you get sensitive on me
'Cause I know you're just too proud
You couldn't step outside the Boho dance now
Even if good fortune allowed

Extract from "The Boho Dance" on Joni Mitchell's album "The Hissing of Summer Lawns"
