twirlin' dresses,81Please respect copyright.PENANA0uXX8toYkH
flappin' ties,81Please respect copyright.PENANAimJukDp4Aq
click, click, click of81Please respect copyright.PENANAEuAOy3zMef
high heels on the dance floor,81Please respect copyright.PENANArPKxty0uQC
while a saxophone blasts in the back.81Please respect copyright.PENANAEevvPZvfMd
you spin, gigglin' as warm hands take your own,81Please respect copyright.PENANA0cROvzUVpQ
with a soft "hey gorgeous" and81Please respect copyright.PENANAJfqwgOYGvz
damn you if you don't feel81Please respect copyright.PENANAZpOvcfqr0T
pretty as a poppet in that moment.81Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ4h5QEthi
maybe you are pretty,81Please respect copyright.PENANA742LkB4I7q
with cheri red lipstick and painstakingly curled hair,81Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Fn84ARUR
all dolled up in a 1930s dress81Please respect copyright.PENANActMul9A0WD
in shades of cream-bone-quartz.81Please respect copyright.PENANArYIEITRVQF
you pretend the Shirley temple in your hand is sweet red wine,81Please respect copyright.PENANA9QcGiNdgvj
coursing through your body,81Please respect copyright.PENANAGfSs5XCnU0
to explain the euphoria rattling through your veins81Please respect copyright.PENANA0UH24zNyJ9
(but shirley temples don't pop,81Please respect copyright.PENANA2jgavZzAZk
champagne bubbles in the back of your throat81Please respect copyright.PENANAZS0zyB3tup
and it's not the sugar making you feel this way.)81Please respect copyright.PENANApvQPxeS6s1
is this what it's like to be alive?81Please respect copyright.PENANARUO4nMuO9m
all jittery-bug feet and electric wirings instead of nerves,81Please respect copyright.PENANAlpkwSafWHP
a head in the clouds and two feet soon to follow.81Please respect copyright.PENANAvqKrsa9IQX
it's nice not to worry about the way clothes81Please respect copyright.PENANA9DZtCwNxvx
cling to curves you didn't know you had,81Please respect copyright.PENANAOPVmGNtFZ3
or accent the ones you wish you didn't.81Please respect copyright.PENANAjzDKADCkk2
81Please respect copyright.PENANA4VegBJk5ES
oh-81Please respect copyright.PENANAUVqtsJof9P
you thought of it.81Please respect copyright.PENANAGNlJbVfbiv
you smooth down the dress,81Please respect copyright.PENANAIVYKuyLf5O
tugging it further downwards81Please respect copyright.PENANAAj4AccsffZ
and hope nobody notices the way your stomach jiggles.81Please respect copyright.PENANAP0D7j74tWO
(now you're self-conscious,81Please respect copyright.PENANAkBtbjanM7f
is she looking at him81Please respect copyright.PENANAgIVEmuPI77
or judging the way your dress bunches at the belly81Please respect copyright.PENANANqEtuAWIeg
in unnecessary ways.)81Please respect copyright.PENANABsFSeLvjMz
81Please respect copyright.PENANAT0N17faAVw
hands twitchin',81Please respect copyright.PENANAzP9UKpn5sk
you're dragged back into the fray81Please respect copyright.PENANA5pAJ1d5icw
by callused fingers and a crooked smile.81Please respect copyright.PENANAeUdKcYWJlz
you're spun 'round and 'round,81Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vlao8gbL5
dress flaring out81Please respect copyright.PENANAj7yhfFGxRo
and thoughts slowly fade to the back of your mind.81Please respect copyright.PENANAVCUArA8K6L
81Please respect copyright.PENANAadUKzFqHLp
you're alive,81Please respect copyright.PENANAEzMzIkX8L7
there are hands on your own,81Please respect copyright.PENANAkRarCKMoKk
guiding you in an unfamiliar dance81Please respect copyright.PENANAiCXpCjFDLy
and two eyes watching you,81Please respect copyright.PENANAGIOJjVaSk5
all starlight and moonshine and cherry pie.81Please respect copyright.PENANAeZDxgSbLvT
there's lipstick smeared on their cheek81Please respect copyright.PENANAGr9Bng0t8D
and you wonder absentmindedly if you had done it81Please respect copyright.PENANATwtGQP1zbT
(you wouldn't be surprised if you had;81Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2kxu0b9P7
sometimes they just said kiss me harder81Please respect copyright.PENANAwEjHhOin1a
and well, how could you not?)81Please respect copyright.PENANANfqDSErcaY
but you're alive,81Please respect copyright.PENANAIgqTI5VnK0
and you are breathing,81Please respect copyright.PENANAY1HYJezVsC
and they are holding you,81Please respect copyright.PENANA4RCkcxuO6H
so now you're not,81Please respect copyright.PENANA86052j2nbn
lungs compressing all the air81Please respect copyright.PENANAcynBexuDOI
and keeping it out of reach.81Please respect copyright.PENANAYeBC00gv4M
81Please respect copyright.PENANALkybE7r4Fz
in the best way possible.81Please respect copyright.PENANAYJn1Gm2wiU
81Please respect copyright.PENANAK1K9crPTXf
you are alive.81Please respect copyright.PENANAZMaZtvRkwY
(one day longer,81Please respect copyright.PENANAn2d9ACJNwX
another day more than you thought.)81Please respect copyright.PENANAXhNGj538lB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAAWTp3bcJVn
jazz music plays softly in the background,81Please respect copyright.PENANAMQBicbARER
while they spin you 'round and 'round,81Please respect copyright.PENANASS7OXKadjn
you're all flushed cheeks and puffy lips,81Please respect copyright.PENANAnKrGmEh1xr
and you. are. alive.81Please respect copyright.PENANA7vUwq3TBnO
81Please respect copyright.PENANAWxc5I5A94V
pretty as a poppet,81Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Umn0LNSP
if you do say so yourself.81Please respect copyright.PENANAPI9C1uZ6Zn
