lyrics

Lights are glowing brighter
and the music’s getting low
Everyone is prodded
Just like cattle through the door

Summoning a taxi
No one’s driving that’s for sure
Some are off to slumber
While others pine for more

I want more

Let’s get down, underneath The Overpass
After hours, where the party was meant to last
Dancing while we watch the sun come up
Taking all the drugs, drinking all the wine
Crossing over every line

Lets get weird, lets get high
Lift this place right up off the ground
I’m not tired, I’m gonna be
The last man standing

Eccentrics are assembled here
From all across the city
but you are all I notice here
and everyone is pretty

you started up a fire
that can melt the ice in me
if I don’t take you home tonight
girl that would be a pity

Let’s get down, underneath the overpass
After hours, where the party was meant to last
Dancing while we watch the sun come up
taking all the drugs, drinking all the wine
crossing over every line

Lets get weird, lets get high
Lift this place right up off the ground
I’m not tired, I’m gonna be
The last man standing
