I took a step back
As the room was filling up
And now we're packed against these people
And we're tossing up a strong vibe
Now the door is locked
And the shower's on
And I realize I don't recognize anyone
But I don't mind
Well, the neighbors have complained damn near every night
the neighbors have complained damn near every night
They should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
They should have shown up by now
And with a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Woah, woah
Well now everybody's losing control!
Intoxicated circulation
Just try to sit back
And get my palette wet
And get me mentally prepared
For the consequences
And you know why
Because the knock at the door
Caused the crowd to quiet
the neighbors have complained damn near every night
Should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
They should have shown up by now
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a rest
Should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
They should have shown up by now
And with a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Woah, woah, woah, woah
There's no one left
Lying on the second story floorboards
And I'm sure they heard next door
But the bottles are hollow now
And there's room at the bottom
And I'd take it all back if I could
But I won't
Sit back
And get my palette wet
And get me mentally prepared
For the consequences
And you know why
the neighbors have complained damn near every night
the neighbors have complained damn near every night
Should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
They should have shown up by now
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a rest
Should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
They should have shown up by now
And with a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Woah, woah, woah, woah
