Lets dance


The world is falling apart
But the wind is still blowing
So lets dance
To the whistle it plays.
Lets dance.

When the train chugged away
In the distance I heard it cry-
It had seen too much
It had borne too much.
It wanted to run away from 
The tracks of fate.
So I told it,
Not to listen to old words
That we now knew by heart,
"Lets dance" I said.
So as it hooted along,
We danced.

Time is crumbling in my hands,
But the earth is still beneath my feet,
So lets dance
In this stadium.
Lets dance.

When the tree glistened in the sun,
In the distance I saw it bleed-
It had been too silent,
It had been too still,
It wanted to burst into flames
And dissolve as smoke.
So I told it,
Not to listen to old words
That we now knew by heart.
"Lets dance" I said.
So as it rustled its leaves
We danced.

Purpose is tearing into pieces,
But the heart is still beating,
So lets dance
To the rhythm that it plays.
Lets dance.

When the song played softly,
In the distance I heard it fall-
It had been misused,
It had been misunderstood,
It wanted to blare out
In anger and cause pain.
So I told it,
Not to listen to old words,
That we now knew by heart.
"Lets dance" I said.
So as it wrapped around me
We danced.

The world is falling apart,
But the wind is still blowing.
So lets dance
I know there isn't any music-
But lets just dance.
