Beneath the Lights Dwm
perhaps the way the stage was lit
with disco balls flashing above
an array of colors spinning around the room
you may have felt the stairs would lead to heaven
or some other unknown realm
you may have felt like a "dancing queen"
in your go-go boots and satin mini
spinning around the room
bumping and shaking
as you carefully avoided
stepping on his bell bottoms
as they slid along the floor
out there just " stayin alive"
as the smoky haze lit the room
for a "slow ride" across the wooden floors
curled within the tucks of his arms
hoping you'd be the one that he'd want
and not shatter your "heart of glass"
as the music faded out
black lights lit the room
where his smile was shining
brighter than his "firebird"
beneath the moon's glow
at the end of the night
you'd "go your own way"
holding onto that moment
until the next Friday's dance
after all you were just "typical girls"
hoping the "boys were back in town"
to take you down the next
"long and winding road"
towards the bliss of young love
