'84: Danceteria! - The Magnetic Fields

We don’t always go to school

But we always go to Danceteria

There is always something cool

Happening somewhere in Danceteria

Danceteria!

Classes at 7:30am

Sometimes we stay up and go to them

This is more important

You’ll get educated at Danceteria

Danceteria!

I always get in for free

I only paid once at Danceteria

Lydia, Mark, Nick and Foetus

Are on tonight at Danceteria

Danceteria!

Biding time until Save the Robots

Let’s arrange our hair like Rorschach blots!

Maybe we can be anything

Or anyone at Danceteria

Danceteria!

I invented the sugar

And lettuce sandwich at Danceteria

Lost my hearing when Einsturzende

Neubaten played Danceteria

Danceteria!

All six nights a week unfailingly

Seeing the Shirelles or ESG

Every day’s a total blur

When you spend the night at Danceteria

Danceteria!

Culture is not for the faint of heart

Poetry, music, performance art

Everything is theater

And everyone’s on stage at Danceteria
