lyrics

You dig a dancing crowd, but tonight you’re staying in with your music up loud, stepping lively in your own space, feeling working muscles smiling beneath your face. If you’re shaking then you might be one of the ones I mean when I sing about we. If you’re stomping than maybe you share the love that seeks out everyone and everywhere whether dirty or clean, whether public or unseen.

The greatest privilege you can own is to know who you are when you’re dancing alone. To have occupied a space where your movement shows you’re something real, and you can’t be the only one who knows.

Sometimes movement stops, we get atomized, but the beat comes back and gets us organized, everyone’s who ever been in favor of simple pleasures, all those dead against silences and half measures. Across our archipelago of basement rooms, in our constellation of undersea tombs, none of us are shaking alone tonight. We go on stomping, trying to do right with our might.
