The Charleston

from Gilded Rats by Ghost Atlantic

/

lyrics

You were the one with the paler skin
I always seemed to pale in comparison
We lost our accents and maybe our souls
A modern alchemy, lead to gold

New Year’s Eve memories
Of you and your best friend
Reinventing the Charleston
Rolling through living rooms
Of the well-adjusted
So many years of holding our breath
After too many drinks
Maybe too much fun
Morning returns with that one-two punch
We are tangled in
We are mangled in
These bad intentions

We’ll meet up again every year or so
For a hazy weekend of cards and cigar smoke
There’s an odd-shaped maple tree with lightning scars
If you drive past it, you’ll know you’ve gone too far

New Year’s Eve memories
Of you and your best friend
Reinventing the Charleston
Rolling through living rooms
Of the well-adjusted
So many years of holding our breath
After too many drinks
Maybe too much fun
Morning returns with that one-two punch
We are tangled in
We are mangled in
These bad intentions

A night at home
A pool of wine
We’re singing songs
To raise the dead
A night at home
A pool of wine
We’re singing songs
To raise the dead

New Year’s Eve memories
Of you and your best friend
Reinventing the Charleston
Rolling through living rooms
Of the well-adjusted
So many years of holding our breath
After too many drinks
Maybe too much fun
Morning returns with that one-two punch
We are tangled in
We are mangled in
These bad intentions
