we throw parties, you throw knives

Singer:los campesinos!

when you play pass the parcel with human body parts

somebody might get a head

but someone will get hurt

and i'll sing what you like

if you shout it straight back at me

there's red stains all over the place

but they're not blood

they're cherryade

we throw parties

you throw knives

it's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice

and it's great that you care so much about things

but you left talcum powder all over the bathroom

and yeah

it is great

you can blow her smoke rings

but you wont taste her lips if you do get to kiss her

and it's your party

but i'll die if i want to

i'll die if i want to

there's red stains all over the place

but they're not blood they're cherryade

we throw parties

you throw knives

it's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice

the music was okay

but the fresh air was better

and i couldn't tell if the singer's keyboard was a crutch or a synthesizer

but it sounded like he'd broken a limb

each and every time he pushed the key down or in

there's red stains all over the place

but they're not blood they're cherryade

we throw parties

you throw knives

it's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice

(there's red stains all over the place

but they are not blood

they're cherryade

we throw parties

you throw knives

it's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice

oh no

it's my mistake

you cut your tongue while taking a sip

it's over

tell his mother

the party is over)

teen campesinos

trick or trim

on your driveway

in the middle of august

one of us dressed as a zombie

one of us dressed as a pirate

one of us dressed as a ninja

four of us dressed as schoolgirls

and i'm starin' you straight in the eyes

i'm shaking my head

and i'm starin' you straight in your eyes
