Festival Pier Lyrics

Come on down to the Festival Pier

We can stop by the store and pick up some beer

And wherever we are, get us out of here come springtime

Yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a war to the north and a fire in the south

Just get into the car and we'll figure it out

And if it breaks in our hand, then there'll be no doubt about it

I live in a place that your family won't drive

Steak and chocolate bars is what keeps me alive

I cut into them with my dad's pocket knife from the forties

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When I'm lying in bed with a book and wet hair

I can see a new world and it's right over there

But a piano falls through my roof from upstairs, I mean it, yeah

I guess a breath of fresh air would do us some good

Did you know Festival Pier is all reclaimed wood?

Now, if that doesn't make a fella feel good, nothing will

No, no, no

I found the salt of the earth when the water ran out

An alternative meaning for twist and shout

Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, come on, babe, yeah

I think I miss my old phone at times like these

It wouldn't hold a charge, but it was family

I can't decide what's profound or what's silly anymore, love

But if you meet me down at Festival Pier

We could hold our heads high and laugh through the tears

We could pretend it was still the Obama years for a moment

Yeah, yeah, yeah

There's still a light in your eyes that won't go away

Even though every hour feels like Judgement Day

Maybe I said nothing, I still got more to say, believe it

When I'm lying in bed with a book and wet hair

I can see a new world and it's right over there

But a piano falls through my roof from upstairs, I mean it

Yeah, yeah

Were you alone when you pulled the sword from the stone?

Did an unearthly glow surround you?
