We don't always got to school
But we always go to Danceteria
There is always something cool
Happening somewhere in Danceteria Danceteria
Classes at seven-thirty a.m.?
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, Marc, Nick and Foe-
TVs are on tonight at Danceteria Danceteria
Biding time until Save the Robots
Let's arrange our hair like Rorschach blots
Baby we can be any-
Thing or anyone at Danceteria Danceteria
I invented the sugar
And lettuce sandwich* at Danceteria
Lost my hearing when Einstür-
Zende Neubauten played Danceteria Danceteria
All six nights a week, unfailingly
Seeing the Shirelles, or ESG
Everyday's a total blur
When you've spent the night at Danceteria Danceteria
Culture is not for the faint of heart
Poetry? Music? Performance art?
Everything is theater, and
Everyone's onstage at Danceteria
* on marble rye
