lirik lagu geoff berner - the victory party
i was dreaming when i heard the announcement:
the struggle was over and we had won it
i knew the victory party was imminent
so i started looking to find it
i came upon a blinded veteran
warming his hands by the fire of an oil drum
i said “comrade, can you give me directions?”
“i’m lost on the way to the celebration.”
i’m looking~~for the victory party
he said
“cross the river on what’s left of the train bridge
take a left at the charred remains of the orphanage
turn right at the pile of dog~chewed corpses
of men and women and dogs and horses.”
after hours of weary searching
i was weary and sick and lurching
down the steps of a dark red tavern
i recognized the music playing
i’m looking~~for the victory party
i danced with a lady and in the low light there
i knew we were right on the brink of our best years
she said “i’ve been saving these fish net stockings
and this is a special occasion.”
they served me whisky and i said “i’m surprised now
that you still have chivas regal.”
they said “we mix it in the back in a washtub
then we colour it up with some brown stuff.”
i drank it down with cheerful avidity~~
i don’t want a reputation for negativity
i raised my glass and said “l’chaim, everybody!
let’s drink a toast to the victory party!”
i’m looking~~for the victory party
