Twisting, twirling, round and round
Lost in wonder , lost in sound
Concentration perspiration in a trance
Beat that drop to the ground
Sonic scapes and laser beams
Dance floor diva dare to dream
Better places familiar faces
Vacant stares and trippy highs
High as a kite, floating floating
Hoping, coping just about coping
Revelry sweet revelry
Detached from my reality
Distant drums and distant places
All of the familiar faces
Of yesteryear
Of stage door dreams
And fatalistic fantasies
Where nothing, no nothing
Is ever what it seems
Forlorn hopes and aspirations
Grim realities pierced by
The disco ball, the glitter ball
The discotheque the dance hall
Cinderella’s and rockafella’s
Brahms and Liszt the jungle blitz
Through smoke and light
I make my move
But you are lost to me
Lost in your own reality
Frozen in place
Lost in space
Your stare goes right through me
Forever delayed in odyssey
And lonely, oh so lonely
You dance
You swirl
You turn
You twirl
Dancing
Dancing
Put on your dancing shoes put coloured ribbons in your hair
And cast away your worries
Cast away your cares
Replaced by vacant stares
Replaced by blatant wares
And symbolic gesticulations
And Symbian smiles
Plastic and beguiling
Put off your Monday mornings
And your sour buddy commutes
Put away your angry boyfriends
And put on your dancing shoes
And turn for me,
Swirl for me
Twist for me
Burn for me
Don’t do anything for me
Do it for yourself
Do it for your sanity
Do it for the sake of your health
And lose yourself
You don’t need to come back
