Party Anthem

[Verse]
Hanging upside down, I am wringing out a washcloth waist
Imprisoned in a wedding pigeon body with a tin can face
I cry into the pages of a Playboy magazine
When I went to the party, everybody looked so clean

[Pre-Chorus]
Over a dead, sleeping policeman
I begged them to have mercy
Pulled his body off the bumper
And got down on my knees

[Chorus 1]
I'm sorry I couldn't be everything I needed to be, I am
Sorry I couldn't be everything I needed to be, I am
Sorry I couldn't be everything I needed to be on time

[Break]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus 2]
Were you better as a phantom
Symphony or a party anthem?
Far away, you were half-pretend
It never happened, it never happened
Were you better as a phantom
Symphony or a party anthem?
Far away, you were half-pretend
It never happened, it never ends

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
