Small Apartment Party Epiphany - Make Believe

Someone’s taught the cat to moonwalk and it’s become a real show-off

The party’s already falling apart but we all play along it’s rolling on

The host eyeballs the fire alarm. Our welcome’s become undone

The party’s already falling apart but we all play along it’s rolling on

TV’s on, volumes down, anchormen guest star on each other’s shows

We’re listening to field recordings of gleaners singing in some ex-Soviet state

And hope’s shadow’s shape may change like names

But doing what you want will never pay well

Someone’s peanut-buttered the poor cat’s paws

I’ve misunderstood him all along

And hope’s shadow’s shape may change like names

But doing what you want will never pay well
