Dust on the Dancefloor (version 2)

Verse

Concrete hall where my grandmother swept

Same red dust that the floorboards kept

Tonight the speakers wake the old ground

Every footstep got a older sound

Somebody's mother danced right here

Somebody's father lost his fear

The walls remember what the streets forgot

My feet keep finding steps I never learned, but I know the spot

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising through the floor

Grandmother's rhythm knocking at the door

It's not a memory, it's still alive

It's in my hips, it's how I survive

Chorus

Dust on the dancefloor, carrying us home

Dust on the dancefloor, we're never dancing alone

Every grain remembers, every grain still knows

Dust on the dancefloor, that's how the spirit grows

Verse

Tin roof shaking, the bassline low

Same hall my uncle used to know

Photograph curling on the wall

Watching us answer the ancestral call

Streetlight bleeding through the door

This was a church, this was a war

Now it's a room where the bodies rise

Dust in the rafters, dust in our eyes

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising through the floor

Grandmother's rhythm knocking at the door

It's not a memory, it's still alive

It's in my hips, it's how I survive

Chorus

Dust on the dancefloor, carrying us home

Dust on the dancefloor, we're never dancing alone

Every grain remembers, every grain still knows

Dust on the dancefloor, that's how the spirit grows

Bridge

I put my palm down on the ground

Feel the heartbeat, feel it pound

Not mine alone, it never was

Hundred voices in my blood

This floor was here before the sound

Long before we found this ground

Chorus

Dust on the dancefloor, carrying us home

Dust on the dancefloor, we're never dancing alone

Every grain remembers, every grain still knows

Dust on the dancefloor, that's how the spirit grows
