all dances for a fretful mind
so how do i dress so that i will look nice?
i swallow my pride and ask someone i like
to go to the prom with my fingers crossed tight
teenage thoughts are selfish and unkind
but we make an effort, if for just one night
i cut my hair and i buy some flowers
i walk around my room for hours
all for the chance of a kiss when the night ends.
she takes me onto the dancefloor
with a twinkle in her eye
she whispers some words into my ear
and i blush towards the sky
in love
at twelve we go to
someone's house party
a friend of a friend of someone unlikely
and at the party
they're all so naughty
some curious smoke
and some light
and boys on boys
she pulls my hand
dragged up the stairs
pushes me to an empty room
she puts her finger on my lips
and tells me,
"Hush now, don't you speak my child"
Corrupts me gently
"Don't you speak my child"
Corrupts me gently
"Hush now, don't you speak my child"
