This Is What It Looks Like

[Verse 1]
There was music in the plazas and a lifting of the fear
When we pressed ourselves together, then our god was nowhere near
All the drinking left us legless, so we slithered through the streets
The car alarms, they cussed us out, the birds put us to sleep

[Chorus 1]
She said hold on (hold on)
Do you think that we're in danger
If we push it any further?
Do you think that we'll be damaged
If we don't do what they say?

[Verse 2]
I said, "Baby, don't you worry about a couple broken windows
That's just what it looks likе when we're joyful
Crowding into bathrooms and tipping ovеr tables
That’s just what it looks like when we’re joyful"

[Verse 3]
We could get out of the city, we could drive up to the valley
But if you do, I think that we'll discover
The parkways all have barricades, they're checking on each driver
It’s such a funny time to become lovers

[Chorus 2]
They said, "Wait up (wait up)
We'd like to see your papers
To see if you're in danger
To see if you'll do damage
If you don't do what we say"

[Verse 4]
I said, "Mister, don't you worry 'bout a couple missing pistols
Things just disappear when we feel playful
When we get up on the table, you shouldn't act so startled
This is what it looks like when we're joyful"

[Verse 5]
And I'm almost feeling sorry for the rangers with their rifles
You can’t get to heaven being hateful
With our eyes back in our sockets and a mess of broken bottles
That’s just what it looks like when we’re joyful

[Bridge]
Sometimes when we celebrate
It looks just like we’re pulling things apart
All the hissing and the whispers
When we press ourselves together in the dark

[Verse 6]
There’s a house out in the valley and it used to be a church
We went up there for a party and I met her on the porch
She took me to the wheelhouse, washed away my doubts
And she handed me a pamphlet and it laid this whole thing out

[Chorus 3]
It said, "Hold up (hold up)
Are you scared about the future?
Would you want to live forever?
Do you think that you can manage?
Do exactly what I say"

[Outro]
And it was nice to finally feel a little something
It was nice to finally feel a little something
It was nice to finally feel a little something
This is what it looks like when we’re joyful
(This is what it looks like when we’re joyful)
This is what it looks like when we’re joyful
(This is what it looks like when we’re joyful)
This is what it looks like when we’re joyful
(This is what it looks like when we’re joyful)
This is what it looks like when we’re joyful
(This is what it looks like)
