about

I know it sounds weird, but I'm not really much of a dancer. Not gonna lie.

So let's celebrate that. Er, with a dance track!

lyrics

VERSE 1
Dance music makes the world go round
Get up and get down
Beats and a bassline is a language that I speak
But if the dancefloor’s pumpin’, the joint is jumping,
You won’t see me
I’ll be on the sidelines tapping out the rhythm on my knee

BRIDGE
My head will nod, I’ll shake a shoulder
With every beat my heart goes faster
Friends are getting down, but I won’t leave my seat

CHORUS
Disco Introvert - funkin’ internally
I’m a Disco Introvert - I feel it spiritually
Disco Introvert - I got this tendency
Invisible ecstasy, inside of me - yet I’m stationery

VERSE 2
Everybody wants to dance, except me
Everyone wants to get up, uh get on up - not me!
My brain is racing, my soul is dancing
Interiorally (is that even a word?)
Good music moves me, just not obviously

BRIDGE
I feel the song in my head not my hips
I sing along, at least I move my lips
Friends they pity me, but I’m happy in my seat

CHORUS
Disco Introvert - funkin’ internally
I’m a Disco Introvert - I feel it spiritually
Disco Introvert - I got this tendency
Invisible ecstasy, inside of me - yet I’m stationery

I don’t move my feet, music moves me, I just clap my hands x 2

LONGER CHORUS
Disco Introvert - funkin’ internally
I’m a Disco Introvert - I feel it spiritually
Disco Introvert - something’s going on inside me
I’m a Disco Introvert – feel the music interior-ly
Disco Introvert - I got this tendency
Invisible ecstasy, inside of me - yet I’m stationery

I don’t move my feet, music moves me, I just clap my hands x 3
I don’t move my feet, music moves me
