A Musical Narcotic

I rush to the dance floor The first chords of “Night Fever” command it The crowd clamors for more Their sighs of approval demand it The room is bedazzled, hypnotic The pulse sets the rhythm, heart beat, dance feet I smolder in musical narcotic Focused in song, inside myself, complete Alas, the beat subsides in sudden pause As I’ve reached my destination Radio off, rewinding what was A temporary reclamation

Ah, Mike, this brought back so many memories. I remember being on a dance floor so crowded could hardly move to Dancing Queen, I Will Survive, and so many other!~
