What a Crime Scene Looks Like

[Verse 1]
Getting smashed, that’s all that they want
Slanting from pints like an italic font
Hover around the light like a moth
The light is the crowd and it’s crowded like a loft
Head up the stairs in this well-kept place
People so mashed, they can’t see through their own face
Walking up now, just give me a shout
Call me down when you’re walking out

[Chorus]
Life at a party is much too real
For a few hours, brains get killed
Takes far too long to get mad healed
A meal is the sealed shield from the pint bill
Deep is the pit that you fall in when you’re worried
And joy takes long to arrive like a lorry
You’re not worried, you’re in deep like a quarry
You never fear ‘cause you think you’ll never fall in

[Verse 2]
I’m here to inform you that’s not true
As you got on the landing, something turned in you
You saw a dark room with her in
You know too well she’s too drunk to be talking
Something snapped as you walked in the black
Looked on the bed and you saw her back
A second thought popped in your head as you turned back
Better not be caught when you’re doing something bad

[Chorus]
Life at a party is much too real
For a few hours, brains get killed
Takes far too long to get mad healed
A meal is the sealed shield from the pint bill
Deep is the pit that you fall in when you’re worried
And joy takes long to arrive like a lorry
You’re not worried, you’re in deep like a quarry
You never fear ‘cause you think you’ll never fall in

[Refrain]
You don’t think of anything at first
But you soon learn that your actions, mate
They got consequences, innit
And as you walk in not realising
Things are about to get bad

[Chorus]
Life at a party is much too real
For a few hours, brains get killed
Takes far too long to get mad healed
A meal is the sealed shield from the pint bill
Deep is the pit that you fall in when you’re worried
And joy takes long to arrive like a lorry
You’re not worried, you’re in deep like a quarry
You never fear ‘cause you think you’ll never fall in (yeah)

[Verse 3]
He knows that there’s no turning back
Once he’s in the middle of this disapproved act
Yeah, he’s in it now, yeah, he can’t get out
And now he can’t hear his friend shout
As the door comes open at last
All of their mouths let out a mad gasp
His friend’s good so he’s gonna get grassed
Yeah, you can’t put this in the past, can you mate?

[Chorus]
Life at a party is much too real
For a few hours, brains get killed (goddamn it)
Takes far too long to get mad healed
A meal is the sealed shield from the pint bill (leave it out)
Deep is the pit that you fall in when you’re worried
And joy takes long to arrive like a lorry
You’re not worried, you’re in deep like a quarry
You never fear ‘cause you think you’ll never fall in (I never meant to hurt you)

[Verse 4]
Mate, you got caught doing something bad
Before, you never thought of acting in this manner
You acted mad and now you can’t look back
Caught by your friend, I bet you feel like a spanner
Why was that your only instinct?
You could’ve helped her, now you’re in a spider land, no Slint
It was slight and yeah you got slit
Forever in your memory like those from when you were a kid

[Outro]
Oh my God
