Lyrics for You to Thank
By the time the buzz was wearing off We were standing out on the sidewalk With our tattoos that looked like rings In the hot Nevada sun Gifts piled high And our moms and dads shook hands In a party of polaroid friends Rented a pool and hired a band Maybe they knew more than we knew 'Cause they danced and drank While we jumped off the deep end I've got you to thank for this Christmas came around Yeah, and everything was going to crap And moms and dads, not a clue to be had Yeah, we put on a pretty good act And they seemed to all need to believe it So we danced and smiled And paddled hard beneath it I've got you to thank for this You can't say you've never had a doubt And smoked it down but really wanted out Goddamn! By the time the buzz was wearing off We were standing out on the sidewalk With our tattoos that looked like rings In the hot Nevada sun And they won't fade I've got you to thank
