Time Enough For Rocking When We're Old Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old 

We can rock all day in rocking chairs of gold 

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing, my love 

There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old 

There'll be time enough for talk in the nursing home 

Darling, time enough to write an epic poem 

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing 

There'll be time enough for talking in the home, my love 

There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead 

You will have a velvet pillow for your head 

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing 

There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead, my love 

There'll be time for sex and drugs in heaven 

When our pheromones are turned up to 11 

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing 

There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in heaven, my love 

And time enough for rocking when we're old
