A So it starts D We go back to your house A We check the charts D And start to figure it out A And if it's crowded, all the better D Cause we know we're gonna be up late A And if you're worried about the weather D Then you picked the wrong place to stay A That's how it starts And so it starts You turn the engine on We set controls for the heart of the sun One of the ways that we show our age And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up Then I still don't wanna stagger home Then it's the memory of our betters That are keeping us on our feet You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend To tell the truth Oh, this could be the last time So here we go Like a sale force into the night You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can And the next ten people who are trying to be polite You're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends, where are your friends tonight? If you could see all your friends tonight If you could see all your friends tonight You know you'd be with your friends for life If you could see all your friends tonight
