twirlin' dresses,86Please respect copyright.PENANAizdNnEdhh7
flappin' ties,86Please respect copyright.PENANAprxamjyo7Z
click, click, click of86Please respect copyright.PENANAATN5Vbp66A
high heels on the dance floor,86Please respect copyright.PENANAb4ZydbrmBL
while a saxophone blasts in the back.86Please respect copyright.PENANAQNELncDuDJ
you spin, gigglin' as warm hands take your own,86Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ0BkC0uCd
with a soft "hey gorgeous" and86Please respect copyright.PENANA0IbMHwph7e
damn you if you don't feel86Please respect copyright.PENANAuRehFk0PIn
pretty as a poppet in that moment.86Please respect copyright.PENANAO3mzKqlmS3
maybe you are pretty,86Please respect copyright.PENANAKzaVR8Bu0d
with cheri red lipstick and painstakingly curled hair,86Please respect copyright.PENANA9CMWBnPSxN
all dolled up in a 1930s dress86Please respect copyright.PENANAhDptIsReKh
in shades of cream-bone-quartz.86Please respect copyright.PENANATgKWCE1MU9
you pretend the Shirley temple in your hand is sweet red wine,86Please respect copyright.PENANASViNkZ92y4
coursing through your body,86Please respect copyright.PENANAQptx4tUvdO
to explain the euphoria rattling through your veins86Please respect copyright.PENANA0FZgjQdmqO
(but shirley temples don't pop,86Please respect copyright.PENANA7WF4iaZEgd
champagne bubbles in the back of your throat86Please respect copyright.PENANA7nAPnJN3Dl
and it's not the sugar making you feel this way.)86Please respect copyright.PENANA3qVwACvQhs
is this what it's like to be alive?86Please respect copyright.PENANAhVkNYmzdFi
all jittery-bug feet and electric wirings instead of nerves,86Please respect copyright.PENANAKHz9Pv5SkS
a head in the clouds and two feet soon to follow.86Please respect copyright.PENANATkf4Sqqs5u
it's nice not to worry about the way clothes86Please respect copyright.PENANAEmGIRilFpP
cling to curves you didn't know you had,86Please respect copyright.PENANAUPoTgyumfl
or accent the ones you wish you didn't.86Please respect copyright.PENANABcK3LoxKc4
86Please respect copyright.PENANAS7H3PBhehg
oh-86Please respect copyright.PENANAyfq5QFDlMb
you thought of it.86Please respect copyright.PENANA0KMIL6zk3k
you smooth down the dress,86Please respect copyright.PENANAoQTuPqmvgZ
tugging it further downwards86Please respect copyright.PENANAvHBer6Uvsq
and hope nobody notices the way your stomach jiggles.86Please respect copyright.PENANA2xRZIXKTVI
(now you're self-conscious,86Please respect copyright.PENANADrQX6Od5ug
is she looking at him86Please respect copyright.PENANAgC6lj2FZ0i
or judging the way your dress bunches at the belly86Please respect copyright.PENANAFN4LoWDFDJ
in unnecessary ways.)86Please respect copyright.PENANALgXmHqjx7u
86Please respect copyright.PENANAKkbLWal7gX
hands twitchin',86Please respect copyright.PENANAoInb9tuTzm
you're dragged back into the fray86Please respect copyright.PENANAXipJMwXLXO
by callused fingers and a crooked smile.86Please respect copyright.PENANAjewdbZGjLM
you're spun 'round and 'round,86Please respect copyright.PENANAowXDDdWqlr
dress flaring out86Please respect copyright.PENANAnAGvhsSvfF
and thoughts slowly fade to the back of your mind.86Please respect copyright.PENANAa4pv45jKvW
86Please respect copyright.PENANAENPVYnh3ke
you're alive,86Please respect copyright.PENANAlkdAFQQXB4
there are hands on your own,86Please respect copyright.PENANAufYTZZKmrX
guiding you in an unfamiliar dance86Please respect copyright.PENANAJtLNkWC8gT
and two eyes watching you,86Please respect copyright.PENANAMwpeerVP3J
all starlight and moonshine and cherry pie.86Please respect copyright.PENANACTiNUTSIUU
there's lipstick smeared on their cheek86Please respect copyright.PENANABGaqIxq56Y
and you wonder absentmindedly if you had done it86Please respect copyright.PENANAqVCH123QY9
(you wouldn't be surprised if you had;86Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ygx0lYtwZ
sometimes they just said kiss me harder86Please respect copyright.PENANAyPFKeXjQ6b
and well, how could you not?)86Please respect copyright.PENANAFzfvs4FZn6
but you're alive,86Please respect copyright.PENANAPivsYlM4G0
and you are breathing,86Please respect copyright.PENANAgM5Kuiuj5Q
and they are holding you,86Please respect copyright.PENANA7x8EGIusl7
so now you're not,86Please respect copyright.PENANA09vT2UiLON
lungs compressing all the air86Please respect copyright.PENANAuaPlXsvi1t
and keeping it out of reach.86Please respect copyright.PENANAt1qF3a4LJt
86Please respect copyright.PENANAvNfWErIybF
in the best way possible.86Please respect copyright.PENANAsIf8Ai1NMT
86Please respect copyright.PENANAgY87DjyxZq
you are alive.86Please respect copyright.PENANAKin30j8tJe
(one day longer,86Please respect copyright.PENANAsEumbdGXuZ
another day more than you thought.)86Please respect copyright.PENANAz0dwXep9SU
86Please respect copyright.PENANAfubi7lxEDI
jazz music plays softly in the background,86Please respect copyright.PENANAetGr9VGeny
while they spin you 'round and 'round,86Please respect copyright.PENANAj9QZaMHvha
you're all flushed cheeks and puffy lips,86Please respect copyright.PENANAMyOQsyG1za
and you. are. alive.86Please respect copyright.PENANAQCmfK5TgQJ
86Please respect copyright.PENANAcGLT0BlAzZ
pretty as a poppet,86Please respect copyright.PENANA4bU51NynjG
if you do say so yourself.86Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6Lcp1eWc2
