    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.
