Emma brought swords to the party
I brought a cake, a chocolate cake
Emma brought knives, and I brought dessert
And Shawn is in the bedroom with Brianne;
He’s doing her hair, playing with her hair,
Playing with her underwear!
Oh my God
I tried to leave, but Dave poured me another drink and said
“Don’t go home tonight.
Leave the bottles on the shelf.
Don’t go home tonight.
We can still drink, still drink to your health.”
I chased it all with a shot of regret.
With disco balls hung from guitar strings,
I went upstairs, up, up and away
To find Spalding getting high and beating up fruit.
And I asked for a sip of his juice
We talked about Jane, We talked about Joy Division, we talked about pain
And holy shit,
I tried to go, but he packed up another bowl and said
“Don’t go home tonight.
Leave the bottles on the shelf.
Don’t go home tonight.
We can still drink, still drink to your health.”
I chased it all with a shot of regret.
Don’t go home…. Don’t go home….
The crowd began to swell around 2 am
When the band started playing and Shawn came downstairs
And Brianne was on the bed, crying her socks off
And Emma was on the bass amp taking off her shirt
Well, fuck,
I tried to dip, but then I took some painkillers and watched Pink Flamingos
