That's how it starts We go back to your house You check the charts And start to figure it out And if it's crowded, then 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 You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? And so it starts You switch the engine on We set controls for the heart of the sun One of the ways we show our age And 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's keeping us on our feet You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? It comes apart The way it does in bad films Except the part Where the moral kicks in And now we're running out of the drugs And the conversation's grinding away I wouldn't trade one stupid decision For another five years of life You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight If I could be with my friends tonight
