Rinse and repeat

Night washes over the city
Bringing the buzz of streetlights
And pulsating rhythms of bars

A disease coursing through bodies
Infecting everyone who hears
Parasitic invasion of the soul

We drink and dance in and out of time
Laughing and floating with the smoke
That fills every corner with mist

Looking for connection to something
A need to be felt and heard
Not unlike the music we sway to

When morning comes
We'll return to our formulaic lives
Until next time

Rinse and repeat
Till something takes hold
To wake us from this recurring dream
