Delilah of the Dance Floor
I.
You take a breath
Shallow and from active lungs
II.
The song begins,
And it is upon a note of excitement
III.
Your gilded skirt billows out from beneath you
As you fly, fly, fly,
Across the floor
IV.
You can feel it course through you
This song of electric passion and courage
V.
His sweaty hands reach for yours
You grab them and spin
Around, around, around
VI.
There is no thought, only feeling
As your arms and legs flap around
To this, your anthem
VII.
The silver specks of the disco ball hit your neck
And you have discovered the dark side of the moon
You glitter, glitter, glitter
VIII.
You say you’ve found your utopia
Swear you’ll never leave, never leave, never leave
