change in personal religion

so i've been saying for years church dances are against my religion
my personal religion that is
i remember vetoing them years ago
only to be talked into going
if there was a cute boy i was digging
who talked me into it
or if i was the new kid in town
and thought... maybe it'll be different here

well the time came again...
now with my congregation in portland
the debate was do i go or not
the catch was... the dance was on a boat
cruising around p-town

so i went...
and actually had fun.
the lame music i have heard in my ears for years
at such dances were gone.

moving my bootie was great
were there awkward men,
sure as to be expected anywhere

i have a new open heart to hip hop music
i've been on a chill, easy, indie kick for while
well since my sister let me borrow her ipod
for the last few weeks of training
her get goin' mix
has given me beats that i've been missing

luckily i've been running in secluded places
or you may catch me dancing while running
picture that...
or singing along while running...
it's just like my friends, smash & jeff's,
version of karaoke
but only where you're the only one hearing the music
and everyone gets to laugh at you
but you can't hear them...

anyways, i'm turning a new page.
maybe not to church dances
but get me on a boat and i'll dance.
