House Parties lyrics - Dawes

Next on our list is the M&M store

Then the Statue of Liberty

After FAO Schwartz

And as I carry the bags

I wonder what we're doing this for

You don't find the good stuff

On a guided tour

But house parties and local bands

Back porches with Bowie fans

Spilled drinks on a baby grand

And midnight singalongs

I don't care for designer brands

Souvenirs from a trinket stand

House parties and local bands

That's where I belong

This sunburn is bad

And it goes all the way down

And these drinks in the daytime

Are never quite as fun as they sound

These days at the beach

Feel more like just sitting around

So if anyone needs me

You know where I can be found

House parties and local bands

Good weed with some Joni fans

Old friends playing Mega Man

And a little Donkey Kong

I don't wanna see Disneylands

Beer bellies and farmer tans

House parties and local bands

That's where I belong

We've come to Chicago

At the wrong time of year

My eyelids are frozen

And I can't feel my ears

It's not that I don't like museums

But we live near a few

If you want the real thing

You know what you gotta do

House parties and local bands

Someone yelling at Kanye fans

"How can you possibly stand that man

After all he's done?"

I don't care about Paul Gauguin

A Starry Night or The Son Of Man

House parties and local bands

That's where I belong

House parties and local bands

That's where I belong
