Swing for all your worth, for this may be your last night.
Swing, baby, let the music take control.
Fly to the moon on silver kites, dip down into the sea.
Swing before they come tonight. Make it last, it’s all you got.

And when the music’s over, the thunder of their march.
Swing with your last breathe as the red sash men come
marching in formation, marching to come for you.

Screaming in the night, beatings with their fist.
Swing, for this is your last chance.
Swing with all you got.

The music comes to an end. The red men chase you underground.
But as long as you have that swing they ain’t got you, baby.
Swing until the sun bleeds into the night.
Swing when the feeling is just right.

But then they come a marching. They seep into the ground.
They have come for you.
You knew it had to happen sometime.

Swing for all your worth, for this is your last night.
Swing, baby, let the music take control.
Fly to the moon on silver kites, dip down into the sea.
Swing for they have come tonight. This is all you got.

Swing with your last gasping breathe.
Swing, for it is your last chance.
Swing with all you got.

Swing until the blood sun bleeds into the peaceful sky.
Swing when the feeling flees the night.

Swing, baby.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
For this is all you got.
This was inspired by a movie we are watching in English called Swing Kids. It's decent. S'differant then I normally write.

Not sure if it is in the right category. I could even consider it a song, since when I read it music is in my head, but it is not a real song.

I love that movie. This is a great tribute to it, especially to the final scene at the end.
