  • You're like a party somebody threw me
    You taste like birthday
    You look like New Years
    You're like a big parade through town
    You leave such a mess but you're so fun

    Tell all the neighbors to start knocking down walls
    To grab their guitars and run out to the hall
    And we're coming out right along to sing them my new song

    For every place there is a bus
    That'll take you where you must
    Start counting all your money and friends before you come back again

    For every road we can retrace
    For every memory we can't face
    For every name that's been erased
    Let's have another round
    May I propose a little toast?
    For all the ones who hurt the most
    For all the friends that we have lost

    Let's give them one more round of applause
    But you're like a party somebody threw me
    You taste like birthday
    You look like New Year
    You're like a big parade through town
    That leaves such a mess but you're so fun Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
