lyrics

my dear friend's sister once told josh's fiance that there would always be more parties (and boy was she wrong)
and while that sentiment seems generally permanently canceled, i'd be lyin' if i said it wasn't helpful from time to time (no way).
it's nights like that on frenchmen street when the bars are closed before I've had enough to drink, or say or sing, that it's a shame
that there've been nights in my life when it seems like nothin' but a regular chore to stay up all night and erase the day.

but now i'm finally thankful for just what a long nap i can take (I'm sleepy).

so here's to burning the candle on both ends
here's to the after parties on decaur streert
here's to no plans for where the night ends
and here's to baccus in the driver's seat.

***

and tonight, i'm hung out to dry
cuz sierra, marco polo, and you singin' pictures in a frame.
poured the bottom of my bottle or bourbon over a huge cube of ice
i drank half and stashed the glass in the freezer for a later day.
fell asleep a third of the way through arrested development season three, i finished it this morning...
(i've made a huge mistake).

and right now I'm finally grateful for all of the joy that i made
yeah now i'm finally grateful for just what a long night can take

so here's to burning the candle on both ends
here's to the after parties on louisa streert
here's to no plans for where the night ends
and here's to baccus in the driver's seat

so here's to burning the candle on both ends
here's to the after parties on school streert
here's to no plans for where the night ends
and here's to baccus in the driver's seat
here's to baccus in the driver's seat
here's to baccus
here's to baccus in the driver's seat
