Illness On The Dance Floor

Illness On The Dance Floor Illness staggers and lurches Across the dance floor Leaving health To sit this one out Illness with outstretched arms Flounders falls and spits blood Health with lowered head And tears Is overwhelmed with sadness Sit down Please for God's sake Sit the hell down After a while Illness with wobbly legs Trips while walking Towards health As Illness Broken and Moaning with pain Attempts to rise Health drained of color Leaves the room Shaken to the core Illness will lay still 'Till the morning Slow music With healing notes of Love and Tenderness Will awaken Illness While health Awaits a nod *
