Lyrics

Party Pit

[Verse 1]

I guess I met her at the party pit

She said those kids she's with were selling it

So we sailed off on some separate trips

She got pinned down at the party pit

I went away to school that fall

She stuck around with all those stickpin dolls

Sped through the scene until the engine stalled

Some suburban shopping mall

[Chorus]

Sailed away on such separate trips

And she got pinned down at the party pit

Sailed away on such separate trips

And she got pinned down at the party pit

[Verse 2]

I came back to start a band, of course

Saw her walking through the Crystal Court

She made a scene by the revolving doors

She's gonna walk around and drink some more

So we walked across that Grain Belt bridge

In a brand new Minneapolis

She said, "I think that all those things I did

Were just momentum from the party pit."

[[Chorus]]

Sailed away on such separate trips

And she got pinned down at the party pit

Sailed away on such separate trips

And she got pinned down at the party pit

Sailed away on such separate trips

And she got pinned down at the party pit

Sailed away on such separate trips

And she got pinned down and I'm pretty sure we kissed

And I'm pretty sure we kissed

[Outro]

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

I'm gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around, gonna walk around

Gonna walk around and drink

Gonna walk around, gonna walk around

Gonna walk around and drink

Gonna walk around, gonna walk around

Gonna walk around and drink

Gonna walk around, gonna walk around

Gonna walk around and drink

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more

Gonna walk around and drink some more
