Let's Go Dancing (inspired by the song "Take Me Dancing" by The Maine)

I just died

Beneath the dance hall lights.

Didn't have what it takes

To be alive.

You can swallow it down

Just to beat the band,

But you'll never know

Quite how to move in time.

Thunder in the microphone

Lightning in the guitar strings

And I won't be the only one

Dancing alone.

Wind in her pale blue dress

Rain coming down her face:

A beautiful ruination

Just like a storm.

Let's go dancing.

These are lovely things

Those are pretty rings

Where are you from

And to whom do you belong?

She said I'm not from here,

And I'm not quite clear as to

Exactly why I came

Or what for...

Kill the lights in the dance hall
And bring the people out
From the shadows
Everyone on the floor
In a symphony
Of swinging bodies.

Let's go dancing.

Hands are cold as ice

While they rest in mine.

Turn up the heat

One kiss at a time.

Make me dip and sway

I can't get away

From what fuels me:

Booze, love, and gasoline.

Let's go dancing.
