Lyrics
There's tight lycra 'round my hips
Wearing tight lycra around the hips, emphasizing a physical and immersive experience.
And a sweat band that fits 'round my head
Wearing a sweatband around the head, suggesting active participation and effort.
We're still dance, dance, dancing today
Continuing to dance enthusiastically today.
To the global groove
Dancing to the global groove, implying a universal, inclusive rhythm.
Well the TV guide gets fatter as the days pass by
Noticing an increase in TV content and urban activity over time.
And those taxis do a dance as I watch from the sky
Observing taxis moving in a lively manner from an aerial perspective.
Global groove
Repetition of "Global groove," emphasizing the universality of the groove.
Global groove
-Global groove
-Global groove
-We're still tap, tap, tapping away
Continuing to tap away rhythmically.
To the global groove
Dancing to the global groove persistently.
Watch your favorite war on TV
Watching a favorite war on TV before bedtime.
Just before you go to sleep
Reflecting on the impact of war before sleep.
And then your favorite sitcom
Switching to a favorite sitcom, evoking emotional responses.
Watch the tears roll down your cheek
Expressing sadness with tears during the sitcom.
Global groove
Repetition of "Global groove," linking the groove to diverse experiences.
Global groove
-I'm so sick and tired of dancing
Expressing weariness and questioning the enjoyment of dancing.
I'm so sick and tired of dancing
-I'm so sick and tired of dancing
-Are you sick and tired of dancing?
-Still tap, tap, tapping
Continuing to tap and dance despite exhaustion.
Dance, dance, dancing
-I remember when I was really small
Recalling childhood memories, contrasting with current experiences.
The news said that
Reflecting on the impact of news, particularly the juxtaposition of holiday travel and witnessing death.
When planes went overhead
-And how many passengers you could fit on a plane
-Imagine each person and where they're going, that would make me feel better
-That these people were just going on holiday
-And
-Seeing people
-Die
-And it's
-Being exposed to that much
Conveying the overwhelming exposure to realism and its emotional toll.
Realism
