CMAT and John Grant - Where Are Your Kids Tonight

Parties
I used to love to party in the old days
Heartbeat
I used to have one of them too
Now I find
I've picked up problems
From loves of mine
Who swear they ain't got em
Everything fun falls apart and leaves me here

Mourning
No one at this party knows I'm mourning
Nineteen
Or anyone that wasn't self aware
I walk to fill my glass with ice and I
Watch myself from an aerial height
Everything fun falls apart and leaves me here

Licking my lips and doing crimes
It was over in a minute
By quarter to nine
Where everything lost was gained in time
But where are your kids tonight?

Shaking my hips and cutting lines
Feels a little passe now
Shoulda cherished my wine and
All of those friends who I thought were fine, oh
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?

Lonely
I didn't know good choices make you lonely
And bad ones
Bad ones only make you disappear
I think it's time I choose the latter
'Cause nothing lasts
So nothing matters
Everything good falls apart and leaves me here

Licking my lips and doing crimes
It was over in a minute
By quarter to nine
Where everything lost was gained in time
But where are your kids tonight?
Shaking my hips and cutting lines
Feels a little passe now
Shoulda cherished my wine and
All of those friends who I thought were fine, oh
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?

I can feel it slip away
That last sweet shred of stupidness
My Mammy's old mistakes
Are losing their elusiveness
It's 1988
I can see her
I can hear her singing

Licking my lips and doing crimes
It was over in a minute
By quarter to nine
Where everything lost was gained in time
But where are your kids tonight?

Shaking my hips and cutting lines
Feels a little passe now
Shoulda cherished my wine and
All of the friends who I thought were fine, oh
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
Where are your kids tonight?
