Irish Spring

Disco in Sligo (or Killybegs Ya'll)

19April2001: Killybegs, Co. Donegal, Ireland

All around the world
The beat goes out
While wars rage
This tune plays on

Lights weave a web
Through swirling smoke
Reflections in mirrors
Of writhing bodies

In every city and town
A thump and bump
As the bodies grind
Dancing the world one

While the whisky flows
The crowd moves together
Twisting out differences
Of gender, color, and creed

Nationality evaporates
While the high hat rings
With the tap of its tempo
We sweat out our desires

When the lights go up
And the well runs dry
The tension returns
And the bats crack heads

Blood flows in the eyes
Our terrible pain returns
We can't get beyond this
Unless the music is on us
