[Verse 1]
This is insulation for the night cold
A cigarette and a drink to lacquer over bones
You either kindle the blood or shiver yourself warm
And the precipice of joyous madness calls in me
Arenât we ecstatic as we dance along it?
Blunting the time-sharpened edge of neuroses
Nullification, vivification
Tantamount powers at a stalemate in me
[Chorus]
Arenât we ecstatic as we all dance along it?
Our wet precipice
(Pour a drink and take a seat beside me)
To each their own perspective, each their own vice
And Iâve made up my mind
Pour up a drink, take a seat with me
And weâll flood out everything
You need someone, and I give a fuck
So letâs give those demons wings
[Verse 2]
And regardless of the way that the pendulum swings
Iâve come to realise that itâs okay to believe
That life is nothing but a vertiginous dream
And thatâs all Iâve ever wanted it to be
Breaking my own heart to feel the love
Like the love of oneâs youth, that makes you jump and run
You either kindle the blood or shiver yourself warm
So bring it back, raise your voice, put your glass to your lips and drink
[Chorus]
Arenât we ecstatic as we all dance along it?
Our wet precipice
(Pour a drink and take a seat beside me)
To each their own perspective, each their own vice
And Iâve made up my mind
Pour up a drink, take a seat with me
And weâll flood out everything
You need someone, and I give a fuck
So letâs give those demons wings
[Bridge]
Youâre stronger than addiction
Stronger than even bereavement
My friend Iâve seen it
And our vigils, pickled in whiskey
Are preserved eternally in my enduring memory
[Chorus]
Arenât we ecstatic as we all dance along it?
Our wet precipice
(Pour a drink and take a seat beside me)
To each their own perspective, each their own vice
And Iâve made up my mind
Pour up a drink, take a seat with me
And weâll flood out everything
You need someone, and I give a fuck
So letâs give those demons wings
[Outro]
