    Dance.

    It is what inspires.

    It's what I admire.

    I will never tire, from its constant attraction to me.

    It is a distraction to me.

    With its strong interaction and flows,

    between the Jim Crows and John Does.

    ​

    Dance.

    It is what I constantly crave.

    People can be so fucking brave,

    challenging epilepsy at a rave.

    The beauty enslaves me.

    Behind the lens I am in a trance.

    All I want to do is dance,

    but the circumstance aint right.

    I want to dance with these fools,

    to be in that spotlight.

    That ankle popping, finger clicking, fat jiggling feeling

    of losing yourself to the music.

    ​

    You know what I'm talking about

    You felt that feeling before.

    Coulda swore that was you I saw on the dancefloor.

    ​

    The dancefloor is a primitive place,

    where you suddenly remember how to move to the bass.

    It's fast pace, state of grace, stone-like face

    slipping,

    dripping,

    to reveal

    that long forgotten sex appeal.

    ​

    Then the sound slows down.

    Look around from frown to frown.

    We exit the dancefloor.
