The Party Song

(альбом: Hey Guys, Watch This - 2023)

I went to a party
Stayed there 20 years one night
There were bright balloons
A pale monsoon of decadent delight
The people at this party
Were alive or seemed to be
Pretty hearts percuss as coconuts
And gentle was the sea

And I know you've got to pine a little
Find your mettle
Tenderly

May the fire burn brighter than the blade
Luminate through spires and the shroud
As a silence settles on the big parade
The day that party burns into the ground

Eyes of Hiroshima
All those melted ears and chins
The world was relieved and still agrees it was worth it in the end
It meant the fight was over
The explicit one at least
As the streamers fell we bid farewell to war and welcomed peace

And I know you're bound to mind the weather
Time will tether faithfully

May the ashes flower from the flame
Coat the smoldering pyre without sound
As we dash upon the vast ash-covered plain
The day that party burns into the ground

Nothing comes from nothing and I was not twice naive
But where innocence meets common sense
There's far too much to grieve
You who stood for nothing
Now you will not stand at all
Whispered epitaphs and laughing gas come right before the fall

And I know you've got to strive forever
A fine endeavor
Heavenly

Peals of laughter scatter after war
Stealing through the rafters of the town
Though we stumble on the unfamiliar shore
The day those tower walls come tumbling down
May that party burn to the fucking ground
