Lyrics
[verse]
She's got glitter on her eyelids, ribbons in her hair
Seventeen and shining like she hasn't got a care
The DJ drops the record and the room begins to sway
She moves like she was born here, like she's never known a gray
[verse]
Every boy is watching, every eye is on her feet
She spins beneath the mirror ball to her own private beat
Nobody taught her this, she just knows the way to move
Like the rhythm was inside her since the day that she was born
[chorus]
Dance, dance, feel the music take you high
Seventeen and sparkling underneath the neon sky
You're the queen tonight, no crown, but still you shine
Nothing but the beat and you, and every step's divine
[verse]
Tomorrow brings the ordinary, school bells and the rain
But tonight there's only glitter and a golden refrain
She'll remember this forever, this one shining night
When the whole world watched a girl become the light
[chorus]
Dance, dance, feel the music take you high
Seventeen and sparkling underneath the neon sky
You're the queen tonight, no crown, but still you shine
Nothing but the beat and you, and every step's divine
[bridge]
Let the strings rise up around her like a wave
Let the mirrored walls throw back the joy she gave
For a moment nothing else can touch this girl
She's the brightest thing in all the spinning world
[chorus]
Dance, dance, feel the music take you high
Seventeen and sparkling underneath the neon sky
You're the queen tonight, no crown, but still you shine
Nothing but the beat and you, and every step's divine
