Nothing Matters When We're Dancing

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 1 [1999]

Dance with me my old friend once before we go

Let's pretend this song won't end and we never have to go home

And we'll dance among the chandeliers

And nothing matters when we're dancing

In tat or tatters you're entrancing

Be we in Paris or in Lansing

Nothing matters when we're dancing



You've never been more beautiful, your eyes like two full moons

As here in this poor old dancehall among the dreadful tunes

The awful songs we don't even hear

And nothing matters when we're dancing

In tat or tatters you're entrancing

Be we in Paris or in Lansing

Nothing matters when we're dancing



And nothing matters when we're dancing

In tat or tatters you're entrancing

Be we in Paris or in Lansing

Nothing matters when we're dancing
