Dance Instead

Lyrics

[Chorus] NOT goin’ OUT, sick in BED Called the doctor, doctor SAID: Got a PULSE? You ain’t DEAD! Get your ASS up! DANCE instead! [Chant Break] Get up! Get up! Get up out that bed! Move! Move! Dance instead! [Verse 1] EYES open BRAIN won’t start MORNING comes STILL feels dark PHONE buzz LET it die SAME excuse SAME damn lie NOXIOUS thoughts SWARM my brain BODY stays MUD in my veins CURTAINS closed DAY slips by TIME moves on LEAVES me BEHIND ONE day BLEEDS through NEXT day STILL can’t move ROOM still WORLD too loud FEEL like SHIT SHUT it OUT [Build] NOT goin’ OUT, sick in BED Called the doctor, doctor SAID: [Chorus] NOT goin’ OUT, sick in BED Called the doctor, doctor SAID: Got a PULSE? You ain’t DEAD! Get your ASS up! DANCE instead! You BREATHING? Heart BEATING? You ALIVE? I ain’t DEAD! Then what you DOIN’? DANCE instead! [Verse 2] FOOT tap HANDS clap SIT up PALMS brace ONE push TWO tries KNEES SHAKE BUT I RISE CHEST up BREATHE deep FEEL that HEART beat PULSE loud BASS hits climbing OUT of that PIT TURN once SPIN fast LAUGH comes BACK WILD at LAST BOOTS hit wood FLOOR ONE song WANT MORE CROWD shouts EYE.. SHOUT BACK HEAR my VOICE! THERE I AM! OUTTA that BED BACK on my FEET ROUND and ROUND BACK on the BEAT DANCE INSTEAD! [Final Chorus] NOT goin’ OUT, sick in BED Called the doctor, doctor SAID: Got a PULSE? You ain’t DEAD! Get your ASS up! DANCE instead! [New Chorus] Wasn’t goin’ OUT, SICK in BED! But I GOT a PULSE—I ain’t DEAD! So I got my ASS up— NOW I DANCE instead! [Outro] Got a PULSE? You ain’t DEAD! WHAT got you THROUGH? DANCED INSTEAD!
