The Art of Parties

Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren't quite so tough
When we were young

Well, I'm burning
I'm burning buildings
I'm building this time

Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
Under heavy weather
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning

I'm living, I'm living my high life
I'm living this time

Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning

The wind blew through my hair (Once I was young)
I'd shelter from the sun (Once I was smart)
We lived on the strength of our nerves
When we were young

Well, I'm building
I'm burning buildings
I'm burning

Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
Under heavy weather
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning
I'm, I'm burning

Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, just burning

Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
