Party People Lyrics

Luther broke his face on the concrete

In a failed, clap, push-up, like a Marine

He smiled, like a child, when he stood

As if he weren't dripping with blood

But tonight Luther's off the chain

Tonight, he's living, on the run

Drunk and feeling no pain

He says

"This must be what everyone calls fun."

Kelsey almost drowned in the swimming pool

She was dancing with a boy she kinda liked

And kicking off heel, just like slipping on peels

She fell and she learned she couldn't swim

But two hands reached down to save her

All tangled and twisted in the tarp

From the soft wet grass she saw a smile from above

She said

"This must be what its like to fall in love"

Robert left the party in a bad mood

All slobbering in tears just like his dad

And he fell asleep beneath the cold moon

But he never took his foot off the gas

And he flew through the windshield and landed in the water

And he floated away while his truck caught on fire

And he re-emerged with a kiss from the wind

And said

"This must be what its like to be born again."

And you pray to God that your parents never know

And you swear and you swear you'll never get it wrong

But Father Time takes you by the throat

He says'

"Come along child, its time, to get old."
