That's how it starts
we go back to your house
You check the charts
and start to
figure it out
And if it's crowded
all the better
because we know
we're gonna be up late
But if you're worried
about the weather
oh then you picked
the wrong place to stay
That's how it starts
And so it starts
you switch the engine on
We set controls
for the heart of the sun
one of the ways that
we show our age
And if the sun comes up
if the sun comes up
if the sun comes up
and I still don't
wanna stagger home
Then it's the memory
of our betters
that are keeping us
on our feet
You spent the first
five years trying to
get with the plan
and the next five years
trying to be with
your friends again
Oh you're talking
forty-five turns
just as fast as you can
yeah I know
it gets tired
but it's better
when we pretend
It comes apart
The way it does
in bad films
Except the part
where the moral kicks in
Though we're running
out of the drugs
and the conversation's
grinding away
I wouldn't trade
one stupid decision
for another
five years of life
You drop the first
ten years just
as fast as you can
and the next ten people
who are trying
to be polite
When you're
blowing eigty-five days
in the middle of France
Yeah I know
it gets tired
only where are
your friends tonight
And to tell the truth
oh this could be
the last time
So here we go
like a sales force
into the night
And if I made a fool
if I made a fool
if I made a fool
on the road
there's always this
And if I'm sewn
into submission
I can still come
home to this
And with a face
like a dad
and a laughable stand
you can sleep
on the plane or
review what you said
when you're drunk
and the kids look
impossibly tanned
you think over and over
hey I'm finally dead
Oh if the trip
and the plan
come apart in your hand
you can turn it
on yourself
you ridiculous clown
you'll forgot
what you meant
when you read
what you said
and yeah we knew you
were tired but then
where are your
friends tonight
where are your
friends tonight
where are your
friends tonight
If I could see
all my friends tonight
if I could see
all my friends tonight
If I could see
all my friends tonight
if I could see
all my friends tonight
