This is the Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s a kick in the teeth, it’s the hornet’s nest It’s the Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s the cold hard light of day
It’s the pain in your heart, it’s the look in your eyes When all of your friends are dropping like flies It’s the hole in the sky when a young man dies And you just want to go to sleep
When you finally sleep, you imagine a world It’s a beautiful world, filled with beautiful girls And the girls in your world, the one you imagined They all want to know your name
So you tell them your name and they give you their number As you’re calling them up, you awake from your slumber Cause your landlord’s outside, he’s driving a hummer And you’re starting to catch a cold
This is the Park, Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s a kick in your face, it’s the hornet’s nest It’s the Park, Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s the cold hard light of day
It’s the kid on the street, he’s having a ball And you’re watching his feet, ‘cause he’s kicking a ball And he don’t need a phone and he don’t need the mall And a tear rolls down your cheek
It’s the guy at the bank, he’s cashing a cheque That the government sent ‘cause he’s out on the deck Some words will not auto-correct Like #whothefuck’llpayourrent
Some people are wealthy, others are rich Some people complain, others just bitch It might take a second to tell which is which But the devil is in the details
This is the Park, Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s a kick in the teeth, it’s the hornet’s nest It’s the Park, Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s the cold hard light of day
It’s the girl at the bar, she’s pouring a drink She’s taking your dough, and you think that she winks So you ask her your name and she tells you a lie ‘Cause Frank’s not a woman’s name
Last call has been called and now Frank’s closing down You’re out on the street and there’s no one around And it’s raining outside, in whiskey you’ve drowned Now you’re walking across a bridge
And you’re sobering up and you get to the park And it’s sketchy as hell and it’s totally dark When you’re one of a kind you can’t get on the Ark So zip up your jacket and go home
This is the Park Avenue Sobriety Test It’s a kick in the teeth, it’s the hornet’s nest It’s the Park, Park Avenue Sobriety Test This is the cold hard light of day This is the cold hard light of day This is the cold hard light of day
