The Birthday Party lyrics

Hello, there's a place I've been going.

There's a place I've been going.

Now I'm clean, it would seem.

Let's go somewhere I'll be seen

as sad as it seems.

I've seen Greg and he was like,

"I seen your friends at the birthday party.

They were kinda fucked up before it even started.

They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show.

They didn't know about all the weird stuff

so they just left it".

I was wasted, and cold,

minding my business.

Then I've seen the girls and they were all like.

("Do you wanna come and get fucked up...?")

Listen, I got myself a missus, so there can't be any kissing.

("No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid...")

("It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it...")

"This ain't going well", I thought that I was stuck in Hell

in a boring conversation with a girl called Mel

about her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well.

You pulled away when I went in for the kiss.

No, it wasn't a diss.

You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss.

After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?

"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room.

He's gotta share for a bit".

You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby

to get things that they don't have.

Does it go through you when I'm talking to you?

You know that I could sue you if we're married

and you fuck up again.

Impress myself with stealth and bad health,

and my wealth and progressive causes.

Drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha.

Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it.

Look, the fucking state of it.

I came pretty late to it.

We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture.

All your friends in one place.

Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means.

I depend on my friends to stay clean

as sad as it seems.

As sad as it seems.

As sad as it seems.
