Just Keep Dancing


Look at everybody dancing
While nervous eyes are glancing
Look at the clock it's almost midnight
And building in the walls is fright

But like clockwork we can't stop moving
And as we're all here grooving
We can't see the sun set a final time
With no symmetry or reason to rhyme

Masks off- demons dance among us
But we're so drugged why even fuss
Pass another round, pass another pill
We're all fools here to get our fill

Midnight strikes and few are still hopping
While the world goes black the bombs are dropping
When life is hard and death is alluring we didn't stop dancing
The reality is the end of it all was so very entrancing
