That's how it starts
We go back to your house
We check the charts
And start to figure it outAnd if it's crowded, all the better
Because we know we're gonna be up late
But if you're worried about the weather
Then you picked the wrong place to stay
That's how it startsAnd so it starts
You switch the engine on
We set controls for the heart of the sun
One of the ways we show our ageAnd if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up
And I still don't wanna stagger home
Then it's the memory of our betters
That are keeping us on our feetYou spent the first five years trying to get with the plan
And the next five years trying to be with your friends againYou're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can
Teah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretendIt comes apart
The way it does in bad films
Except in parts
When the moral kicks inThough when we're running out of the drugs
And the conversation's winding away
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision
For another five years of lifeYou drop the first ten years just as fast as you can
And the next ten people who are trying to be polite
When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France
Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?And to tell the truth
Oh, this could be the last time
So here we go
Like a sales force into the nightAnd if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool
On the road, there's always this
And if I'm sewn into submission
I can still come home to thisAnd with a face like a dad and a laughable stand
You can sleep on the plane or review what you said
When you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks
You think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead."Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand
Tou look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said
And you always knew you were tired, but then
Where are your friends tonight?Where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
If I could see all my friends tonight
