Dancing Class

I like to take a dancing class each year

It helps myself to keep in touch with me

And the girls I meet are different

Than the ones I meet at work

And there’s always at least one

sensitive guy

There is a girl I like to pair up with

She comes from Germany

She’s beautiful

And I like the way she dresses

And I like the way she moves

We never speak, we only acquiesce

There is a mirror in the locker room

And sometimes after class

We stay and dance

And she always shows me new steps

And I try to follow her

Follow her? Berlin is far away

I must stay

I must stay in shape

I must try

I must try new steps

Must perfect

Must perfect each move

That’s harder?

I will try that then

But sometimes

Sometimes I have fears

A strange and

A strange and dark force Is trying

Trying to pry me

Pry me from

Pry me from myself

This is why

This is why I move

This is why

This is why I dance

Must protect

Must perfect each step

I must try

I must dance faster

This is the last dancing class I’ll have

The announcement came today

After the class

She said

“You’re two hundred years old now

There’s no one left to hold you

This is the last dancing class you’ll have”
