Lyrics The Party Life - City

The Party Life

They say you can’t buy love, right?
I just saw some guy outside
Reckons he’s selling it for thirty bucks a piece
(Love is the drug) But anyway
It’s clock off time, and some Friday night decadence is heaven sent
Now your working week worries are irrelevant
To the task at hand, of the master plan
Of getting so far plastered you can hardly stand
Shit, I know it’s gross
You’ll still catch me at the bar with my glass steady getting comatose
And don’t front, I’ma see you there too
As all the thoughts of staying sober disappear into the awkward small talk
It’s crystal clear, even with the beer goggles
Is it half empty or half full when you’ve drunk the whole bottle?
(which is it?)
It’s no wonder, drunk girls make punch-drunk love confessions
Boys get drunk and throw punches
So let’s just all get bent, watch it unravel
Maybe that’ll break down the walls of makeup and dress sense
(What's your poison?) 'Cause it ain’t just booze these days
Shit, you can sniff, bong, smoke or munch your money away
Set your brain on fire chasing a chemical heaven
You look like shit but you never felt better
And shit, I hate dancing, more power to the wall flowers
But in nocturnal mode, it’s the main attraction
So from the house parties looking like a scene from «Kids»
To driving green Mitsubishi’s down the Kings Cross strip
Pour out a little liquor on the street
For all the nights that you passed out without brushing your teeth
We live the party life, so get drunk, take drugs
Make love, and we’ll do it all again tomorrow night 'cause
Rain, hail or shine these are the days of our lives
Let’s waste 'em away one day at a time
With that party life, so get drunk, take drugs
Make love, and we’ll do it all again tomorrow night 'cause
Rain, hail or shine these are the days of our lives
Let’s waste 'em away one day at a time
See it’s clock off time but my work has just begun
Two days off from real life, we gon' touch the sun
Party like we don’t trust the sun (ayy Solo?)
Now let me show 'em how the fuck it’s done
See where I’m from part of the weekend never dies, it just lays low
While we preoccupied with getting by, but
When it arrives we all getting live
All heading to the same place, whatever you ride
We living for the now, not concerned with the future
Kidding ourselves like we’re gonna slow down
But all this real life talk will only kill my buzz
So I put it to the back and slowly fill my cup
'Cause I know reality, it can’t be faced when I’m high
That’s exactly why I got this bag of kush and some papers, let’s ride
Escaping through them late nights, trekking it home
To the unpleasant glow of daylight
These kids are dancing down the fine line between trendy and junky
And when the music stops, it gets ugly
Chemical romance, slow dance with heaven
Shit, I don’t like the drugs but they love me, trust me
Uh, pour me another, uh, maybe a couple more
So I can disconnect until all my troubles call
Remember all’s fair in love and warfare
Oh yeah, this is for my whole team of midnight juggernauts
We live the party life, so get drunk, take drugs
Make love, and we’ll do it all again tomorrow night 'cause
Rain, hail or shine these are the days of our lives
Let’s waste 'em away one day at a time
With that party life, so get drunk, take drugs
Make love, and we’ll do it all again tomorrow night 'cause
Rain, hail or shine these are the days of our lives
Let’s waste 'em away one day at a time
It’s like this city never sleeps, simply turns into a nightclub
Where your love ain’t as important as your money or your drugs
Here, try some, you only live once
But some of these people acting like their ship already sunk
So, let’s get it while we still forever young
Before the sun sets on yesterday’s buzz
Before adolescence catches up with what’s left of my lungs
Left wondering how it ever begun
In this world wide ashtray like any other Saturday
We got the social smokers in with the pack-a-days
I stay hammered straight with no chaser
Any other way, mate I wouldn’t have it
It’s like what goes up till gravity calls me
Back from cloud nine for the plunge
«And I hate all my friends 'cause all my friends are taking drugs»
But shit I’m guilty as charged so who the fuck am I to judge?
We live the party life, so get drunk, take drugs
Make love, and we’ll do it all again tomorrow night 'cause
Rain, hail or shine these are the days of our lives
Let’s waste 'em away one day at a time
With that party life, so get drunk, take drugs
Make love, and we’ll do it all again tomorrow night 'cause
Rain, hail or shine these are the days of our lives
Let’s waste 'em away one day at a time
«But all we wanna know is 'where the party at?'»
«Look, what do you got against me?
You been picking on me all night»
«You want me to tell you the truth?»
«Yeah sure, go ahead
«I don’t like the way you live»
«The way I live?»
«Yeah, I keep hoping I’m gonna run into something a little better»
«What kind of crap is this?
Who are you?
You ain’t any better than me»
«I guess you like the way everything’s going for you huh?»
«Well maybe I do.
Friday nights are pretty good, Saturday nights are better»
