the party song

I went to a party Stayed there 20 years one night There were bright balloons A pale monsoon of decadent delight The people at this party were alive or seemed to be Pretty hearts percuss as coconuts And gentle was the sea And I know you've got to pine a little Find your mettle Tenderly May the fire burn brighter than the blade Luminate through spires and the shroud As a silence settles on the big parade The day that party burns into the ground Eyes of Hiroshima All those melted ears and chins The world was relieved and still agrees it was worth it in the end It meant the fight was over The explicit one at least As the streamers fell we bid farewell to war and welcomed peace And I know you're bound to mind the weather Time will tether faithfully May the ashes flower from the flame Coat the smoldering pyre without sound As we dash upon the vast ash-covered plain The day that party burns into the ground Nothing comes from nothing and I was not twice naive But where innocence meets common sense There's far too much to grieve You who stood for nothing Now you will not stand at all Whispered epitaphs and laughing gas come right before the fall And I know you've got to strive forever A fine endeavor Heavenly Peals of laughter scatter after war Stealing through the rafters of the town Though we stumble on the unfamiliar shore The day those tower walls come tumbling down May that party burn to the fucking ground
