24 Hour Party People

[Intro/Chorus]
24 Hour Party People
Don't sleep, don't drink, don't eat like we do
I'll leave you be if you leave me be too
But I can't see you when you need to

Get in trouble, you just wanna get in trouble
Do the hustle, everybody do the hustle
Get in trouble, you just love to get in trouble
Do the hustle, everybody do the hustle

[Verse 1]
My modus operandi don't involve ganja, booze or beer
Party favors after shows, dressing rooms full of those
Players looking to propose a toast - nope
I been around the world but like my bedroom the most

Though you know I won't go away
I got the golden voice even a ventriloquist couldn't throw away
I need understanding, my presence is demanding
Buy some merch, and maybe I can spend it on a stand-in

1 Mello, cuz the 2 is seeing double
After about three drinks, so before I get into trouble
Slap you 5 and grab a taxi, don't even have to ask me
If I'm tired - y'all stay wired like old telephones

I need my time alone in my home, create my zone
Prone cuddlin' with an old movie on and I'm gone
So if you callin' me to come back to the streets and get freaked?
Please, I ain't even trying to compete

[Chorus]
24 Hour Party People
Don't sleep, don't drink, don't eat like we do
I'll leave you be if you leave me be too
But I can't see you when you need to

Get in trouble, you just wanna get in trouble
Do the hustle, everybody do the hustle
Get in trouble, you just love to get in trouble
Do the hustle, everybody do the hustle

[Bridge]
You gotta understand; I wish I could live like you
But I can't be your man - don't bet on intuition
Just understand; you know I really like you
But I must have a plan - don't thrive on inhibition

[Verse 2]
My oh my, it's 3:04, and partner, why oh why are you calling me for?
I thought I was understood, I'm so good on that club shit
Don't care how the club's lit, I just make the club hits

Spitting on the introverted tip
Flex that I don't return texts and I don't throw fits
It is said, it is writ, like your name
On an every-night check for the beers and tips

My tips are reaching out, I want my own apartment
My life is halfway over, and it ain't even started
My new rap name is Young Tragedy
This ain't the way it had to be, I'm plottin' on a magic seed

Please intercede if you see people stopping me
Asking "how do I make this sound?", or givin' me demo CDs
Trying to get me to smoke weed and watch their TVs
Can we have all interactions through email, please?!

[Chorus]
24 Hour Party People
Don't sleep, don't drink, don't eat like we do
I'll leave you be if you leave me be too
But I can't see you when you need to

Get in trouble, you just wanna get in trouble
Do the hustle, everybody do the hustle
Get in trouble, you just love to get in trouble
Do the hustle, everybody do the hustle

[Bridge]
You gotta understand; I wish I could live like you
But I can't be your man - don't bet on intuition
Just understand; you know I really like you
But I must have a plan - don't thrive on inhibition

[Outro]
Party people wanna dance with me
Like they ain't know there's no chance for me, huh oh oh
Please don't let it stop
When they don't know what I'm not, oh oh oh oh

Party people wanna dance with me
Like they ain't know there's no chance for me, huh oh oh
Please don't let it stop
When they don't know what I'm not, oh oh oh oh

Party people wanna dance with me
Like they ain't know there's no chance for me, huh oh oh
Please don't let it stop
When they don't know what I'm not, oh oh oh oh

Party people wanna dance with me
Like they ain't know there's no chance for me, huh oh oh
Please don't let it stop
When they don't know what I'm not, oh oh oh oh
