House Parties

Next on our list is the M&M store Then the Statue of Liberty after FAO Schwarz And as I carry the bags I wonder what we're doing this for You don't find the good stuff on a guided tour But house parties and local bands Back porches with Bowie fans Spilled drinks on a baby grand And midnight sing-alongs I don't care for designer brands Souvenirs from a trinket stand House parties and local bands That's where I belong This sunburn is bad and it goes all the way down And these drinks in the daytime Are never quite as fun as they sound These days at the beach feel more like just sittin' around So if anyone needs me You know where I can be found House parties and local bands Good weed with some Joni fans Old friends playing Mega Man And a little Donkey Kong I don't wanna see Disneyland Beer bellies and farmer tans House parties and local bands That's where I belong We've come to Chicago at the wrong time of year My eyelids are frozen, and I can't feel my ears It's not that I don't like museums But we live near a few If you want the real thing You know what you gotta do House parties and local bands Someone yelling at Kanye fans How can you possibly stand that man After all he's done? I don't care about Paul Gauguin A Starry Night or The Son of Man House parties and local bands That's where I belong House parties and local bands That's where I belong
