Now friends just know I hold you dear
But it's just all so ghastly to see you cry
Your makeup's running smeared
Your face is turning paisley, and why?
About a fight
Just talk about the things you love the most
You've only been put there 'cause of pressure
It isn't till disaster when we really get a chance
To measure ourselves
So stretch the measured tape across our pains
Turn failure into lesson and loss to gain
Let's grow up to ourselves forsaking every crutch and cane
Eschew the dilettante and tailormade
Let's have some drum rolls for drunkenness
We're on the lookout for a loose-tongued lark
Tripping over Dutch doors is the only way to come home after dark

Don't have to understand things for them to be
They say to be unique but they don't mean it
Yesterday's luxuries became today's necessities
They'll have you believe your wants are your needs
Let's have some drum rolls for drunkenness
We're on the lookout for a loose-tongued lark
Tripping over Dutch doors is the only way to come home after dark
