Burn The Disco Down

Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Songs & Lyrics

There's a party going on somewhere downtown tonight,
But I don't know where I'm going and something is just not right.
Hide in the corner, drink in my hand
Like I'm an ostrich with my head in the sand
Until I feel your fingertips as you start to say

Let's burn the disco down
We've got the motive and the opportunity
Burn the disco down
And light the sky bright for the world to see.

Soak the room in gasoline and throw the match as we run
While oblivion burns alive we'll have our own, improved brand of fun
Flames overtake as we laugh at the dark,
That inferno we caused with our tiny spark
And you whisper in my ear as we run away

Let's burn the disco down
We've got the motive and the opportunity
Burn the disco down
And light the sky bright for the world to see
We could just keep dancing like all the rest
Or we can blow it all up and show them we're the best
So let's burn the disco down tonight

Let's burn the disco down
We've got the motive and the opportunity
Burn the disco down
And light the sky bright for the world to see
Let the mindless dance while they burn alive
Tonight this world is just yours and mine
So let's burn the disco down tonight.

L'Shana Tovah Tuesday night
In this small town.
It's dark by eight
And leaves come down.

I grab my bags
And leave my car.
A couple argues.
Don't know where they are.

I trudge up the lawn
To my front door.
I want less pain.
I must laugh more.

I step inside
And I'm all alone.
Just one big room,
Never feels like home.

L'shana tovah
The shofar sings.
L'shana tovah.
This year will bring...L'Shana Tovah by ~agirlwithavoice

Metronome Tick tock, keep the rhythm.

Tick tock, keep the rhythm.
Tick tock, mark the beat.
Tick tock, time is passing.
I can't even find my feet.
Tick tock, days are passing.
Tick tock, weeks are gone.
Tick tock, my music's playing.
I don't know how to sing along.

Chorus:
Time ticks like a metronome.
I'm not ready to be alone,
Living life all on my own.
Tick tock, sings the metronome.

Tick tock, there goes December.
Tick tock, there goes May.
Tick tock, there goes an hour.
Tick tock, there goes a day.
Tick tock, I'm fading faster.
Tick tock, I've missed a verse.
Tick tock, I'm in a cradle.
Tick tock, here comes the hearse.
Metronome by ~agirlwithavoice

Impatient For Rain Broken bird down at the bottom
Of a full-budding cherry tree
Says she hasn't got anybody
But she knows that she's got me.
If they ignore you long enough
I guess it's easy to believe
That nobody gives a damn about you,
But I wish that you could see
What you've done to me.

Chorus:
You fill me and surround me
In these ways I can't explain.
You're that first breath of the summer,
You're May mornings in the rain.
The world's in bloom again.

The night's claimed you its prisoner
There's no way out for you.
I hope you look up at the moon
And know I'm looking too.
Sure, you say, it's a cliche,
And I know that it's true,
But itImpatient For Rain by ~agirlwithavoice

We're living what we're singing.

So I guess that's a step in the right direction, to quote The Academy Is..., also known as the band that I can't end a sentence with because that's confusing and bothers me so this is an extraneous clause.

After a long while of not being able to write much, if at all, I've finally churned out something that I think is halfway decent. In light of coping with my depression, being medicated, and all that other good stuff, "Metronome" does a pretty good job of capturing where I am now emotionally. The rest of my life is ahead of me, but I'm a little intimidated by it.

Tomorrow I'm starting medication for my ADD. It's basically glorified speed, so we'll see how that one turns out I guess...
