lyrics

The work we do to pay our rent
Dictates the way our days are spent
So that’s why we spend our nights
Spending our money

Someone who calls himself the captain
Says in the city where we’re landing
It’s already tomorrow
And it’s 95 and sunny

I’ve just been informed we’re not getting any younger
And when this life is through we might not get another
You’ve heard it all before but that don’t make it better
So when the party’s over let’s leave the party together
Let’s leave the party together

A time will come to say goodbye
There will be bills to pay and forms to sign
I hope the shadows that I’m casting
Leave you some shelter

We paint the whole house in angelic white
By lamps that lend new slants of light
We have learned to leave our mark here
And on each other

We were driving from the airport
Little dropouts from a pale sky
Saw champagne in the windshield cracks
Diamonds in the taillights
Only meant to show our faces
Now we’ve been kicking around forever
Looks like the party’s over
So let’s leave the party together
Let’s leave the party together
