GENE KELLY

Dancing on the ceiling seems a powerful feat

To lose and gain control with your feet, with your mind, with you heart

All I want to do is start

I've been sitting so long and thinking I'm wrong and...

 

Dancing on the ceiling seems a Gene Kelly move

To feel your heart beat with the groove and your strength roots you down

The bass of the sounds of your toes tapping, happily.

 

I yearn to contract and release, suspend and release

All I want is to turn and turn and what's more

Release.

 

Let's tango with those dreadful thoughts

Stop holding on and toss all your cares to the ground

 

Gravity will keep you grounded,

but for one moment, I'd like to dance on the ceiling.
