River Trash - Party People Lyrics

Luther broke his face on the concrete
In a failed, clap, push-up, like a Marine
He smiled, like a child, when he stood
As if he weren't dripping with blood

But tonight Luther's off the chain
Tonight, he's living, on the run
Drunk and feeling no pain
He says
"This must be what everyone calls fun"

Kelsey almost drowned in the swimming pool
She was dancing with a boy she kinda liked
And kicking off heel, just like slipping on peels
She fell and she learned she couldn't swim

But two hands reached down to save her
All tangled and twisted in the tarp
From the soft wet grass she saw a smile from above
She said
"This must be what its like to fall in love"

Robert left the party in a bad mood
All slobbering in tears just like his dad
And he fell asleep beneath the cold moon
But he never took his foot off the gas

And he flew through the windshield and landed in the water
And he floated away while his truck caught on fire
And he re-emerged with a kiss from the wind
And said
"This must be what its like to be born again"

And you pray to God that your parents never know
And you swear and you swear you'll never get it wrong
But Father Time takes you by the throat
And he says
"Come along child
Its time
To get old"
