For Those Who Go Dancing Before Nine

Don't play no sad songs 'round here tonight
for the world seems brighter, somehow, in this light.
Believe what is out there, you foolish heart,
might even fool the young at heart.
Or so this feeling tells me.
Crowds and dim lights in the night
is where I aught to be.

Don't come 'round here with that look of warning
for I've made up my mind to attend such an event.
My shoes are shined,
face is polished,
smile in place,
my best dress laid out, waiting.
So summon my chariot!
For I will be the one that will spin their heads tonight.

Don't call out my name 'round here tonight
For my place will be empty
my trail still too warm
The music plays on in my head to Extreme
As I put out the light and turn towards the door
A young voice whispers,
"Doesn't she know? No one goes dancing before nine!"
