Conception - George Shearing Quintet

Eat, drink and be miserable

While it’s a miracle that we’re still here at all

As we sink another belly full

Another cherryfalls bouncin' off the wall

If we live in the dead of night

Then it’s a constant fight to be a socialite

Back tides through darkened rooms

With a look of gloom we’ll never leave too soon

We’re so scared of finding out

What scares us and we’re growing up

And knowing what it means

To be bursting at the seams

Souled up and fueled up to our ears

To leave our fears behind

We all know that that just cannot last

Don’t live too fast

Smoke, joke and be unrestrained

And when the sun comes up we’re gonna feel your pain

As we piss it all down the drain

For another week of a tired campaign

We’re so interchangeable

When you’ve seen one well you’ve seen us all

But that is just the way we like to be

In trouble but trouble free

We’re so scared of finding out

What scares us and we’re growing up

And knowing what it means

To be bursting at the seams

Souled up and fueled up to our ears

To leave our fears behind

We all know that that just cannot last

Don’t live too fast

Uh, uh, oh

We’re so scared of finding out

What scares us and we’re growing up

And knowing what it means

To be bursting at the seams

Souled up and fueled up to our ears

To leave our fears behind

We all know that that just cannot last

Don’t live too fast
