lyrics

The drinks are on me.
Or was that the joke?
It’s so good to be lonely
with you folks.
It’s darker inside here
than it is outside,
and that’s where I like it --
away from the light.
I ain't saying we're compañeros
or that we should be.
I'll stay strange to you.
Please stay a stranger to me.
It's darker inside here
than it is outside,
and that's where I like it --
away from the light.

Some 151
is all we need for a glow,
or some lemon extract
for those in the know.
A party’s a party
with me or without,
but since we’re all here now,
how 'bout let’s not head out?

The drinks are on me.
Or was that the joke?
It’s so good to be lonely
with you folks.
It’s darker inside here
than it is outside,
and that’s where I like it --
away from the light.
I ain't saying we're compañeros
or that we should be.
I'll stay strange to you.
Please stay a stranger to me.
It's darker inside here
than it is outside,
and that's where I like it --
away from the light.

Let’s stay till we’ve checked off
five hundred or so
and wait for the next five hundred
so we don’t have to go.

The drinks are on me.
Or was that the joke?
It’s so good to be lonely
with you folks.
It’s darker inside here
than it is outside,
and that’s where I like it --
away from the light.
I ain't saying we're compañeros
or that we should be.
I'll stay strange to you.
Please stay a stranger to me.
It's darker inside here
than it is outside,
and that's where I like it --
away from the light.

Away, away, away from the light.
Away, away, away from the light --
sloshed moths to tribal fires.
