Lyrics Modest Mouse – Lampshades On Fire
Text:
Mmm buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah
We’re all going, we’re all going
Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out
Well, this is what I really call a party now
Packed up our cars, moved to the next town
Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
This one’s done so where to now?
Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
Well, you all know what I’m talking about
Shaved off my eyebrows, let ’em fall to the ground
So I can’t look surprised right now
Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we’ll make the same mistakes
Burn it up or just chop it down
But this one’s done so where to now?
Buh buh buh buh buh buh ba-da-dah
Duh duh duh duh duh duh da-da-dah
We’re all going, we’re all going
Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
But this one’s done so where to now?
Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
Well, you all know what I’m talking about
The room lights up, well, we’re still dancing around
We’re having fun, having some fun now
Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we’ll make the same mistakes
Open one up and let it fall to the ground
Pile out the door when it all runs out
Buh buh buh buh buh buh ba-da-dah
Duh duh duh duh duh duh da-da-dah
We’re all going, we’re all going
We have spines and other bones
We’ll eat your food, we’ll throw stones
Well, this is how it’s always gone
And this is how it’s going to go
Well, we’re the human race
We’re going to party at this place
And then move on
(Tough luck)
We’ll kill you off and then make a clone
Yeah, we got spines, yeah, we have bones
This is how it’s always gone
And this is how it’s going to go
As our feelings are getting hurt
Oh, we want you to do the work
Our ass looks great inside these jeans
Well, we want just our water clean
This is how it’s always been
And this is how it’s going to be
So you just move on
The air’s on fire so we’re moving on
Better find another one cause this one’s done
Waiting for the magic of the scientist’s glove
To push, push, push, push, pull us up
Spend some time, float in outer space
Find another planet, make the same mistakes
Our mind’s all shattered when we climb aboard
Hoping for the scientists to find another door
