Lyrics
[Verse 1]
S-s-s-suddenly there's a knock at your head
Don't let them in because they're trying to take your TV set
Ha-ha-ha-happiness is the ball in your hand
You've got to try and throw this party just as far as you can
[Verse 2]
C-c-c-creosote is pouring out of my brain
I swear I heard the floorboards, they were creakin' your name
G-g-g-get a room, get ahead, get a hat
We're going to hell anyway, let's travel first class
[Verse 3]
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
Watching the boys on their motorbikes
I wanna be like those guys
I wanna wear my clothes tight
With matching jackets and a fistful of notes
New sneakers and a fresh pack of smokes
[Verse 4]
P-p-p-pneumothorax is a word that is long
They're just trying to put some punk back into punctured lung
P-p-p-panic over, party off, party on
'Cause we are birds of a feather and you can be the fat one
[Verse 5]
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
Over your heads like a satellite
I wanna see what they see
I wanna love you like crazy
'Cause cameras are pointed right at your face
Can see into your room from outer space
[Verse 6]
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
It's not the size of the man in the fight
I wanna know what that does
I wanna show you what matters
'Cause it's the size of the fight in the man
That makes the difference and decides who is champ
[Verse 7]
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
'Cause you and me, we're on the edge of the knife
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
I asked your mother and she said it's all right
We're gettin' married when we're thirty
I wanna do it on your birthday
'Cause I don't wanna waste a moment with you
Oh, I just wanna dance the whole night through
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
'Cause you and me, we're on the edge of the knife
