Constantines - Some Party lyrics

rate me

This is some party. a capacity crowd on some fifty-four story<br />

A mile above the lowly stations and any honest crime<br />

Sick with the stars consolidating on the vine<br />

<br />

I'll play the witness, every line here is baited<br />

The spoils got us impressed, the wine- intoxicated.<br />

Saw this slow city buried in confetti, <br />

Some night, some time ago, at some party<br />

<br />

Tonight we milk the stiffs, storm the Bastille, raid the throne, <br />

Mock the swine who'll rot in heaven<br />

Swinging on the velvet ropes<br />

<br />

Some punks getting some kicks at some party<br />

<br />

The shell of busted ex-rocker just lucking to get laid, <br />

The season's new rock hopefuls just hoping to get paid<br />

The stilted sharkskin boys picking game bird out of their teeth:<br />

It's a lottery of promise, it's an old joke underneath.<br />

<br />

Tonight we milk the stiffs, storm the Bastille, raid the throne, <br />

Mock the swine who'll rot in heaven, <br />

Swinging on the velvet ropes<br />

<br />

Some punks getting some kicks at some party.<br />

Some night, some time ago, at some party
