Ballroom Song

I never saw one at all

Until I found it lying on the ground right in front of me

And now it’s hanging on my wall

Filled with a solvent that keeps it almost alive for me

 

I never saw one at all

Until I found it lying on the ground dead in front of me

And now it’s hanging on my wall

Filled with a solvent that keeps it almost alive for me

 

Almost alive

Almost alive for me

Almost alive

For me

 

It’s not the modern world that’s falling around me

Not the end of the world like I

Thought it would be

Cars crash

And I do too

 

It’s not the modern world that’s floating around me

Not the end of the world like you

Hoped it could be

Hearts crash

And I do too

And I do too

I do too

I do too

 

Salvation’s slippery slope with velvet burgundy curtains

Collapse of an empire

Rise of a wiry callous machine

 

It runs so smoothly with its mass production

Costs a nickel

That demon never sleeps

Never sleeps

Never sleeps
