tonight were gonna party
like its 1989
tonight tonight tonight
and i guess its not that funny
but ill say it anyway
alright alright alright

and the joke is that the stereo
just ate the mix tape that you made
alive alive alive
and i dont think your friends

Love can be hard but it was so smart of you
Cause if you spend too much time
Alone in your mind you're through

And if the bedroom feels cold
Then we can unfold tonight
And your hand I will kiss
So unclench that fist it's so tight

You're everything I want to do

Your beautiful African friend
Next to him I look so white
So white that you turned away
And wanted me out of your sight

To be exotic and I did pretend
In the backyard to slowly undress
As you pulled the twigs from my hair
That I put there myself I confess

So c

(Chorus) Alison, I understand we all end up as bones beneath the ground So let us truly live this life grateful for the joy that we have found (Verse) So go ahead and sleep I promise you that I

I buried our love, in the backyard
Until it thaws, we could play cards

'Cause I know that it's hard
When it's dark and cold
And all that you feel
Is yourself getting old

But summer will come
With all green and sweetened ice tea
Summer will come and be all gree

Why did you say that
Why did you open your mouth
This isn't the time or the place
For my love's disgrace
How could you say that
You just opened your mouth
Now I have the courage to stay
Calgon take me away

Why did you say that Why did you open your mouth This isn't the time or the place For my love's disgrace How could you say that You just opened your mouth Now I have the courage to stay Calgon

Prisoners of ourselves
Desperate little elves
We hide inside a tree
And wear a beard of bees

But do you know that when
You're here with me
That's the only time that I feel free

So wrap me in your skin
A holiday of sin
We'll take it when we can
There is

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

But I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're de

We melted down the gold
The gold that we found buried in her teeth
For wigs her hair was sold
To drunken soldiers, stumbling down the street

Let us burn the light
And all that's good and right
Inside our hearts

The chemicals that caught
The rainbow colored sha

We melted down the gold The gold that we found buried in her teeth For wigs her hair was sold To drunken soldiers, stumbling down the street Let us burn the light And all that's good and right

from the corner of my eye
the chinese baby cries for you
it sounds like boo-hoo

so rub my stomach for good luck
to pass that driving test
it's hard I know that green means go

your boyfriends calling you
to tell you that your through
with love and all the stars

Close the door
But open yourself to me
Take off your coat
Leave it there on the floor

I caught you
Doubting yourself in the mirror
But you look good to me
You look good to me

Close the door
Don't let the cold air in
I don't mind
To wait til your ha

When it finally collapsed all you heard was the radio static
And the fluttering sound of the bird that was trapped in the attic
But you couldn't be sure that it wasn't just all in your head
As you carefully swept all the broken glass out of your bed

When it finally collapsed al

Do you love me baby Do you love me baby Do you love me as I love you? Or do you hate me baby Do you hate me baby Do you hate me as I hate you? 'Cause I don't want it in-between I will keep

don't be afraid of your anger
I'll eat it with mustard and wine
and the crumbs in your hair
you should shampoo with care
if it's tearless I'm sure it would say

and don't be afraid of the language
I know you don't mean what you said
well, your tongue can get sharp

You're so sophisticated
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone

Just as the curtain closes
I strike authentic poses
Now that we know all the words to history's sad songs

So don't be apocolyptic
There's still time to g
