Lampshades on Fire - Modest Mouse

(Up-up-up-up up-up ba-da-dah

Duh-duh-duh-duh duh-duh da-da-dah)

We’re all going, we’re all going

Well, the lampshade’s on fire and the lights go out

The room lit up and we ran about

Well, this is what I’d really call a party now

Packed up our cars, moved to the next town

Well, the lampshade’s on fire and the lights go out

This is what I’d really call a party now

Well, fear makes us really, really run around

This one’s done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all

Well, you all know what I’m talking about

Shaved off my eyebrows, let 'em fall to the ground

So I can’t look surprised right now

Pack up again, head to the next place

Where we’ll make the same mistakes

Burn it up or just chop it down

This one’s done so where to now?

(Up-up-up-up up-up ba-da-dah

Duh-duh-duh-duh duh-duh da-da-dah)

We’re all going, we’re all going

Well, the lampshade’s on fire when the lights go out

This is what I really call a party now

Well, fear makes us really, really run around

Ah, this one’s done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all

Well, you all know what I’m talking about

The room lights up, well, we’re still dancing around

We’re having fun, having some fun now

Pack up again, head to the next place

Where we’ll make the same mistakes

Open one up and let it fall to the ground

Pile out the door when it all runs out

(Up-up-up-up up-up ba-da-dah

Duh-duh-duh-duh duh-duh da-da-dah)

We’re all going, we’re all going

We have spines and other bones

We’ll eat your food, we’ll throw stones

Oh, this is how it’s always gone

And this is how it’s going to go

Well, we’re the human race

We’re going to party out this place

And then move on

(Tough luck)

We’ll kill you off and then make a clone

Yeah, we got spines and we have bones!

This is how it’s always gone

And this is how it’s going to go

Our soft feelings are getting hurt

Oh, we want you to do the work

Our ass looks great inside these jeans

Well, we want just our water clean

This is how it’s always been

And this is how it’s going to be

So, you just move on

(Yow!)

The air’s on fire so we’re moving on

Better find another one 'cause this one’s done

Waiting for the magic of the scientist’s glove

To push, push, push, push, pull us up

Spend some time to floating out in space

Find another planet, make the same mistakes

Our minds all shatter when we climb on board

Hoping for the scientists to find another door

(Yeah)
