Where Are Your Kids Tonight?

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 19 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 Oh, where are your kids tonight? Shaking my hips and cutting lines Feels a little passé now, should've 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 Oh, where are your kids tonight? Shaking my hips and cutting lines Feels a little passé now, should've 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 Oh, where are your kids tonight? Shaking my hips and cutting lines Feels a little passé now, should've 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?
