Dance if the Music is Right

from Gold, Sapphire & Plum by Ethan Andrews

/

lyrics

Don’t stand by the woodpile, baby
We could have fun tonight
Don’t lie on the ground, waiting
We could have fun tonight
And if the music’s right,
You’re gonna move your leg
And if the music’s right,
You’re gonna move your head

This is the time for warmer weather
When we could wear different shoes together
Between us there will always be a pair
Don’t stand with one hand on the door
And the other on the cord of my headphones
That ain’t fair
Gimme a little room to stare

These burns are barely a smudge
Mark me up like a hearth glove I won’t budge
I’m used to it
It’s just a little trip we take
Don’t let the sound of the coolers make you afraid
This, too, is stupid

No reason to make a promise
I’m not looking for a serial thing, just a pause when nobody saw us
We could have a word or two
I saw you outside of the dance
I had a child in each of my hands
You were doing your own thing
And it was good, I must confess.
Sometimes I do my best
And now might be a time to notice
Should we roll our bones in the snow
And forget about where they go, if winter is so upon us

Some of us dance alone
Some of us dance like somebody told us
There are so many fools
Let in no bearings that the magnets in your mind oppose

Looks good in a coonskin cap, but then you can't just wear one of those all the time without having to answer a lot of questions.
