Slow Dance

This is the safest word in your mouth
This is the safest room in the house
Where all is overseen and organized
According to its color and its size
It will not help you home or up the steps
Not untie your shoe or you undress
Or steady out the voice that you have
Shun
When singing to an audience of none
It is a slow dance you dance
I see that you do it well
It is a dead move you plan endlessly
I can tell
It is a slow dance you dance
Just a move away from standing still
Never unexpected company
Always opposites of luxury
A party for the few you would invite
The blow that never made it to the fight
It is a slow dance you dance
I see that you do it well
It is a dead move you plan endlessly
I can tell
It is a slow dance you dance
Just a move away from standing still
