Must have been a wonderful party I know I woke up on the lawn The cold cuts were all wet with dew And all the guests were gone I hope I said goodbye to everyone I hope I was not crude or impolite You know when I get way out there I throw light bulbs and chairs at people I don’t like
Why do we drink like this Why do we drink To the good life, to Saugerties, To the ashtrays and the empties Why do we drink like this Why do we drink I don’t remember I don’t remember anything
Spose I’ll have to make some apologetic calls So I can get up from my knees I spose some people are pretty sick of me by now But they just keep coming to my parties
I hope I did not hurt you, baby I hope I did not make you cry You’re always the one to get it in the teeth When I’m getting high You’re always the first one to find me afterwards Doubled up in cheap regret You’re always the one to help me to remember Whatever it was I was trying to forget
Why do we drink like this Why do we drink To the motherland and the amenities To the confessions and the dry heaves Oh, why do we drink like this Why do we drink I don’t remember I don’t remember anything
