Never Dance Again

This stems from a few different inspirations. It's reasonably self explanatory, so I won't go into too much detail, except to say that I have an idea for a companion song of sorts to it that I might get around to writing at some point. In terms of sound, its really my standard Pearl Jam-meets-Bon Jovi-meets-The Sisters Of Mercy-meets-Iron Maiden type of thing :p please feel free to comment

Never Dance Again - March 2007

See them all, every one
A murder of crows, they swarm
A purpose, a mission
United in a common goal

See them sway, see them shake
See the meeting, the heartbreaks
The lovers, the lusters
The loners, all under
Hypnotic control

Before me unfolds a scene of beauty
No need here for dignity
Beauty sweats, beauty sings
Beauty shouts, beauty screams
There's something of beauty in the ordinary

Chorus:
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you … Oh
Won't you dance with me?

Why … won't you … ?

Sometimes I dance, but that doesn't make me a dancer
Sometimes I take someone home, but that doesn't make me a romancer
Not always a vampire, but sometimes I bite
Sometimes a rebel and sometimes a knight
Sometimes a pirate, sometimes a clown
Sometimes I'm high when I'm on the comedown
After the last time, I broke my own mould
Now across my chest is emblazoned "Lost Soul"
Matches his fingers, no I'm not alone
But behind the barrier of my comfort zone
How did I misplace my day?
And why's the night not mine to claim?
And when did the transition happen?
Where is the source of this pattern?
And who are all these people here?
And just what is it that I fear?

Before me unfolds a scene of beauty
No need here for dignity
Beauty runs, beauty drinks
Beauty smudges, beauty stinks
There's something of beauty in the ordinary

Chorus:
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you … Oh
Won't you dance with me?

Why … Don't … We …
Dance?

And the walls … shake
And the earth … quakes
And the lights … blaze
Like the sun's … rays
And the … energy
Doesn't extend to me
And the circles core
Is what I'm aiming for
But a sudden attack
Pushes me back
Into the black
And I watch on
As it plays on
And they dance on
And you move on
And when you return
I am long gone

This is more
Than just a dance
This is the convergence
Of countless such days
Take me back to the world
Where I am the lord
Of all I survey

Chorus:
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you … Oh
Won't you dance with me?

When …
Shall …
We …
Dance … ?

Won't …
You …
Dance with me?

And I watch on
As it plays on
And they dance on
And you move on
And when you return
I am long gone
And I'm long gone
And I'm long gone
And I'm long gone
And when you return
I am gone
