Life of the Party

from The Dirt and the Sky by Cathouse Canary

/

lyrics

Ain’t this some party
Where the context doesn’t matter.
Twenty-five lawyers and bankers
And one Arts-grad slacker.

Their slicked-back arsehole questions
Don’t make sense at all.
“What do you do?” I do what I do,
And it feels stupid, childish and small. 

Blend in? Like hell I will.
These people freak me out.
So, so, so, so...

So few people
Fill entire sterile spaces.
The perfect kids,
All queens and kings and crooks
And fucking racists.

Yeah here the lowest thoughts
And dumbest fears are highest fashion.
These ragged shoes,
This three buck wine?
Well that’s about the worst thing
They could ever imagine.


Blend in? Like hell I will.
These people freak me out.
So, so, so, so...


Sorry man I know that I can come off kind of brash and I certainly appreciate the offer to let me crash on your couch.
And I didn’t mean to imply that none of this is worth shit but I’ve known you for a while and I think that you might be losing sight of life a little bit.

Yeah, the last time you seemed real
We’d been drinking in the park.
You said the summer’s cool-change petrichor
Could break your heart.
Well I guess back then you had more than just
The one damn thing to do,
But it seems like all that’s atrophied,
And by extension so have you.
And yeah, you know a lot about corporate law
‘Cause you read all those books on corporate law,
But I don’t give a damn about corporate law.
This place is so expansive
But you motherfuckers make it feel so small.

I’ll shake your hand tomorrow,
We’ll split and that’s that.
I won’t see you for a year.

So think of me the next time
You sit in office white lights.
You’ve always got next year.
