Dance!----(danielle savage-written in Winlaw, May 2010 & New Brunswick, Sept. 26, 2010)

You hold your tongue so tight, you won't say another word about the world or your life, and you can't move to the music because someone put a stick in you and then they gone and glued you to the chair, oh yes now then they gone and glued you to the chair, then they gone and glued you to the chair....

Said who put the stick in you my friend, who went and tied you to the chair? And who told you that the proper thing to do was just to hold your tongue and give us all a stare, alright, to just hold real stiff and make pretend you care, hold your tongue and give us all a stare?...

Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance....dance, dance, dance

You keep your face so scrunched as if the world depended on your utmost diligence and worry like if you weren't fussing over every detail of how it's put together well then surely now it would fall apart, oh yes now surely well then it would fall apart, alright now, surely well then it would fall apart...

Said who put the stick in you my friend? Who went and glued you to the chair? And who told you that the best thing you could do would be to clench your jaw and give the room a stare? Alright now, to scrunch your face and pretend your not there? Oh yes now, clench your jaw and give the room a stare?

Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance dance....dance, dance, dance

Dance, before you atrophy, dance to save your limbs, dance to throw the bondage off, dance, dance to fulfill your whims/ cue you of your fright.

Now your exaggeration about your preoccupation with some more "important" issues than what's here is not, is not fooling anybody for now we all know that you don't move your body because you~ cannot, that's right I said, you don't shake it for you are too stuck, I said now, you aren't dancing because you are fucked.

Said who put the stick in you my friend? Who went and glued you to the chair? And who told you that the best thing you could do would be to look the other way and hold a stare? Oh, yah, just to get uptight and hold still-stay right there, just hold real tight and pretend your not there....clench your jaw and pretend your not theeeeeeere.



(dance to save the soul of night, dance to set your body right, dance until the morning light, dance to git your gittin' on, dance for want of ritual, dance to fill the many holes...)
