This is What It Looks Like

There was music in the plazas

And a lifting of the fear

When we pressed ourselves together

Then our god was nowhere near

All the drinking left us legless

So we slithered through the streets

The car alarms, they cussed us out

The birds put us to sleep

She said, "hold on" (Hold on)

Do you think that we're in danger

If we push it any further?

Do you think that we'll be damaged

If we don't what they say?

I said, "baby don't you worry about a couple broken windows"

That's just what it looks like when we're joyful

Crowding into bathrooms

And tipping over tables

That's just what it looks like when we're joyful

We could get out of the city

We could drive up to the valley

But if you do, I think that we'll discover

The parkways all have barricades

They're checking on each driver

It's such a funny time to become lovers

They said, "wait up" (Wait up)

We'd like to see your papers

To see if you're in danger

To see if you'll do damage

If you don't do what we say

I said, "mister don't you worry about a couple missing pistols"

Things just disappear when we feel playful

When we get up on the table

You shouldn't act so startled

This is what it looks like when we're joyful

And I'm almost feeling sorry

For the rangers with their rifles

You can't get to heaven being hateful

With our eyes back in our sockets

And a mess of broken bottles

That's just what it looks like when we're joyful

Sometimes when we celebrate it looks just like we're pulling things apart

All the hissing in the whispers when we press ourselves together in the dark

There's a house out in the valley

And it used be a church

We went up there for a party

And I met her on the porch

She took me to the wheelhouse

Washed away my doubts

She handed me a pamphlet

And it laid this whole thing out

It said, "hold up" (Hold up)

Are you scared about the future?

Would you want to live forever?

Do you think that you can manage?

Do exactly what I say

And it was nice to finally feel a little something

It was nice to finally feel a little something

It was nice to finally feel a little something

This is what it looks like when we're joyful

(This is what it looks like when we're joyful)

This is what it looks like when we're joyful

(This is what it looks like when we're joyful)

This is what it looks like when we're joyful

(This is what it looks like when we're joyful)

This is what it looks like when we're joyful

(This is what it looks like)
