about

The new dance craze for when you don't live up to expectations. When you're feeling stuck, "do the sophomore slump."

lyrics

LYRICS:

For those who lost their flair, there’s a dance
For those who can’t do it like they did before
For those still holding out for a chance
Might as well face it: you’ve lost the spark

Lightning never strikes the same place twice
Don’t waste your time chasing storm after storm
So treat yourself, dress up in something nice
And do the dance for when the magic’s gone

CHORUS:
Tense up your body, freeze up your mind
Move around in circles and
Do the sophomore slump
Vision is spotty, you’ve passed your prime
Give yourself the jitters and
Do the sophomore slump

Don’t worry, it may pass
Unless you’re just a little flash in the pan
Take a step back and have some class
There’s someone better, and they’re making plans

Being cool is easy to pull off
But staying cool is just not in the cards
So treat yourself and buy a cool guitar
Play a tune, and find yourself a job

CHORUS:
Tense up your body, freeze up your mind
Move around in circles and
Do the sophomore slump
Vision is spotty, you’ve passed your prime
Give yourself the jitters and
Do the sophomore slump
