EASTMAN BALLET

old black and white photos cause diseases

not only because of the mold they carry

but the idea that the past was much better than today

when we were young and foolish and did not dream of getting married

and all we wanted was a phonograph and a cool night to play

our skins like soap foam

hell was just acnes and blackheads hard fought

the vanity of youth was our weapon of war before we discovered the sex

after the first fuck we learn to drink and fake orgasms then we lose the plot

we´ve become pretentiously sensual creatures with our anti reality specs

dance, dance, dance til we run like water through a gap in the floor

dance, dance, dance even knowing that we won´t have that hair anymore

It hurts to realize that we have only become music box dancers

always turning to the same side waiting for ruin and cancer

dance, dance, dance because music is our cheap morphine

dance, dance, dance because we are no longer able to release endorphins

dance, dance, dance because we are the last of the dancing dolphins

dance, dance, dance someone will cut our wrinkled fins
