Well I've surveyed my choices now I don't know what to do 
and it's playing on my mind if love could speak the truth 
I'd spend all my time at bonfires being slayn by social vampires 
what's the use? Let's not go to...

   tar                    and         you 

but let's not go to bed, and forget who we are 
for a bedpost mostly notches, and a fumble in the dark. 
Let's go to work instead, let's talk of all our friends 
let's smoke until we're tar. and you... 

(repeat intro) 
know...la da da da.... 

repeat Verse: 
so don't you know me, and you can't crave what your body 
takes away, and now we've sobered up, drag your tired feet 
down crooked streets and you were not your f**king clothes 
is what I'll be singing. If you can move in the dark, but you're 
still not sure who you are don't 

repeat Chorus:
