it's like you took the giant christmas tree
at rockafella center and
you spread it paper thin
but you were careful not to break a bulb
and then you mirrored it a million fold
to shine
and shine
and shine along
and there's a tap on my knee
bring up your seat back please, she says
but I know she means
if you feel like dancing
dance with me
some of the lights below
shine directly on the people I know
their lives take such strange shapes
but how together they appear from above
I guess that could be love
my friends
my friends
I'm coming home
and then the captain speaks
it's clear and 44 degrees
but I know he means
if you feel like dancing
dance with me
but I been out past the lights
where the jagged black begins
i let my heels sink in the sand
and the ocean s**ed it's teeth
and the cold cuts through my feet
and stretched out on and on and on
how disconnected I can feel on the ground
it's like I'm shining all alone
and i don't wanna be
so
before i go to bed tonight
i'll signal up to the pa**ing flight
hit the lights
the lights
the lights
the lights
and now the man in the middle seat
recites the times tables audibly
but i know he means
if you feel like dancing
dance with me
if you feel like dancing
dance with me
