Please Stop Dancing

from No Victories by Hello Whirled

/

about

Originally recorded for EP1.

lyrics

through all times and cultures, little has remained so constant
but of expression, one form has persisted above all
it takes no words and no understanding of the language
and anyone can recognize its presence, ever growing

but it's not universal
some don't make the connection
as shyer voices beg to scream
one can only dream

please stop dancing

to claim it a nuisance would be equal to a burned book
I know much better than allude to world peace where it's ignored
but even those who look like me have sought to integrate it
and where most find it pleasure, I expect a stressful chore

cause it's not universal
and I wish not be expected
to perform this ritual
tradition be damned, with all due respect

please stop dancing
