Where Are Your Kids Tonight? (feat. John Grant)

Parties

I used to love to party in the old days

Heartbeat

I used to have one of them too

Now I find I've picked up problems

From loves of mine who swear they ain't got 'em

Everything fun falls apart and leaves me here

Mourning

No one at this party knows I'm mourning

Nineteen

Or anyone that wasn't self aware

I walk to fill my glass with ice

And I watch myself from an aerial height

Everything fun falls apart and leaves me here

Licking my lips and doing crimes

It was over in a minute by quarter to nine

Where everything lost was gained in time

But where are your kids tonight?

Shaking my hips and cutting lines

Feels a little passé now, shoulda cherished my wine and

All of those friends who I thought were fine

Oh, where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

Lonely

I didn't know good choices make you lonely

And bad ones

Bad ones only make you disappear

I think it's time I choose the latter

'Cause nothing lasts, so nothing matters

Everything good falls apart and leaves me here

Licking my lips and doing crimes

It was over in a minute by quarter to nine

Where everything lost was gained in time

But where are your kids tonight?

Shaking my hips and cutting lines

Feels a little passé now, shoulda cherished my wine and

All of those friends who I thought were fine

Oh, where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

I can feel it slip away

That last sweet shred of stupidness

My mommy's old mistakes

Are losing their elusiveness

It's 1988

I can see her

I can hear her

Singing

Licking my lips and doing crimes

It was over in a minute by quarter to nine

Where everything lost was gained in time

But where are your kids tonight?

Shaking my hips and cutting lines

Feels a little passé now, shoulda cherished my wine and

All of those friends who I thought were fine

Oh, where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

Oh, where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

Oh, where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?

Oh, where are your kids tonight?

Where are your kids tonight?
