Look here's a sugar cube
Took him some altitude
Stuck to the sky
Like a fly caught in honey
Look, here's some gratitude
I like your attitude
Dancin' like that when there's no sign of money
No sign

Chorus
Sebastian, dancing at The Metro
A question, “Is that your real name, Sebastian?”
Passion. That's a dollar kicked aside.
And that's a real life Sebastian.

Blues on your body
Your blue milky arms
They are veining and straining and praying and shining
Magnificent dirty south
I like your dirty mouth
Do it again. I'm watching. I'm watching you. I'm watching you.

Chorus

The country is still, but the stillness don't suit him
And nobody's saying the word prostitute
And your life can be fucked and your life can be art
But you never will get it
Unless you get running and blind.

Chorus

Sebastian, dancing at The Metro
A question, “Is that your real name, Sebastian?”
Passion. That's a dollar kicked aside.
And that's a real life Sebastian, Sebastian
