nevermind the headache nevermind
the fact that your joints hurt
and everyone's breath leaks a haze
of jack daniels and smoke
take another toke and dance here anyway
sometimes music's all you got
so will you take it or will you

not another word my dear not another
word just throw your head back, laugh
because being serious is a joke
for all the folk
who just don't get it
but if you twist those hips,
you'll know

trust me, let go, bet it helps
spin around and close your eyes
there's nothing anyone else can do
it's all up to you so
take a word from the wise and dance
and for a moment there is nothing,
nothing but the music
the bass and your beating heart

This is fantastic. Great rhythm, and there's a music that flows between the words that I'm sure I can hear playing as I read. Cool bananas :) -Carl

the flow is great and it does give of the feeling that you're trying to express. and even tho it's free verse, it still rhymes a bit :p. but it's good. i like your style =]
