The High Party

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm looking at another day To find that I've got no-no-nothing to say Or I'm looking for another way To process what happened on, on, on that birthday [Pre-Chorus 1] And either way, if you're gonna call it art Then there's a cup in front of you And right away, if you're gonna play your part You must drink it down, drink it down [Verse 2] Well, mine eyes have seen the glory of the Fields of flowers and fac-fac-factory farms And my mind's content to lie at rest For hours behind my love-love-loved ones' doors [Pre-Chorus 2] And if there's a war Another shitty war to fight for Ba-Ba-Babylon It's the perfect storm in a teacup But you must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it down [Chorus] And what do you make Of nights when you thought you'd make much more Than being too drunk to turn the lights out And too tired to drink more? And what does it take To not hear the cynics at your door? Saying, "It's time to turn the lights out" And, "You want to keep it down, keep it down, keep it down?" [Verse 3] So I'm lifting up that poison cup To drink a draught of pro-pro-propaganda Or I'm giving up that other stuff In hopes that it's gonna ma-ma-make me madder [Pre-Chorus 2] And either way, if you're gonna call it art Then there's a cup in front of you And right away, if you're gonna play your part You must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it down [Chorus] And what do you make Of nights when you thought you'd make much more Than being too drunk to turn the lights out And too tired to drink more? And what does it take To not hear the cynics at your door? Saying, "It's time to turn the lights out" And, "You want to keep it down, keep it down, keep it down?" [Chorus 1] And what do you make Of nights when you thought you'd make much more Than being too drunk to turn the lights out And too tired to drink more? And what does it take To not hear the cynics at your door? Saying, "It's time to turn the lights out" And, "You want to keep it..." [Chorus 2] And what does it say Of all of the things you've said before When you're too tired to turn the lights out And too drunk to drink more? And what do you save And what does it feel like to be saved? And can you pull, two, three, four, pull, two, three Can you drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it down?
