[Verse 1]
We were drinking in the back
After closing up the store
That old spirit in my throat
A spirit for every occasion
The contest of strength
In the rain, beneath the stairs
Transmuting all the faces
In the crippled weekend air
[Chorus]
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
[Verse 2]
The stories all were said
We sank deep in our clothes
Leaning long into each other's words
Until the bars were closed
Daniel stole because he could
I breathed out through my nose
A bright and sudden pain came up
And killed the spirit in my throat
[Chorus]
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
[Verse 3]
He came out of his car
Swinging wide the pipe
I backed against a wall
Some mumbled supplication
Running with head hung
Daniel ran my way
He laughed hard and resumed the conversation
[Chorus]
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
