The Devil Asks You To Dance

You sit, sad and alone
Wondering the worth of anything
A hand reaches out to you
Smooth, soft, irresistible
Pulls you up to the floor
You're even more useless than before
As you're led along into moves
that embarrass you further
Now you wonder no longer
your worth is completely gone
A cliff, conveniently close
The smooth hand nudges you there
Your toes linger over the edge
The voice whispers, tempts you
Another step and everything resets
Start over, forget your mistakes
The hand nudges you again
Only your balance keeps you
from the critical spill
The voice is sweet, convincing
like a little girl asking for cheap candy
But you twist around in misery
back onto solid ground
Maybe you're not ready for
the story to end with unfinished business
Or maybe you're a romantic
and this can't end
if the devil doesn't kiss you enough
