House Parties

[Verse 1]

The 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

[Chorus]

But house parties and local bands

Back porches with Bowie fans

Spilled drinks on a baby grand

And midnight singalongs

I don't care for designer brands

Souvenirs from a trinket stand

House parties and local bands

That's where I belong

[Verse 2]

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

Thesе days at the beach feel more likе just sitting around

So if anyone needs me, you know where I can be found

[Chorus]

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 Disneylands

Beer bellies and farmer tans

House parties and local bands

That's where I belong

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
