You’re like a party somebody threw me You taste like birthday You look like New Years You’re like a big parade through town You leave such a mess but you’re so fun
Tell all the neighbors to start knocking down walls To grab their guitars and run out to the hall And we’re coming out right along to sing them my new song
For every place there is a bus That’ll take you where you must Start counting all your money and friends before you come back again
For every road we can retrace For every memory we can’t face For every name that’s been erased Let’s have another round May I propose a little toast? For all the ones who hurt the most For all the friends that we have lost
Let’s give them one more round of applause But you’re like a party somebody threw me You taste like birthday You look like New Year You’re like a big parade through town That leaves such a mess but you’re so fun

Lyrics:
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men This is how it happens Our carefully laid plans
Shake it, shake it baby Shake your ass out in that street You’re gonna make us scream someday You’re gonna make it big
You love so deep, so tender Your people and your land You love ’em ’til they can’t recall Who they are again
Work it, work it baby Work your way ’round that room You’re gonna make it big one day You’re gonna make a boom
But I am But I am But I am not a number, not a name
But I am But I am But I am a carefully laid plan
Shake what your mama gave you You know that it won’t last You’re gonna taste the ground real soon You’re gonna taste the grass
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men This is how it happens Our world under command
Shake it, shake it baby Shake your ass out in that street You’re gonna make us scream someday You’re gonna make us weak
You’re gonna make us scream someday You’re gonna make it big
How can I forget your love How can I never see you again? There is a time and place For one more sweet embrace And there’s a time ooh Where it all ohh Went wrong I guess you know by now That we will meet again somehow
How oh oh Oh baby how Can I begin again How can I try to love someone knew Someone who isn’t you How can our love be true When I’m not ooh I’m not ooh over you I guess you know by now That we will meet again somehow [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/regina+spektor/how_21012050.html ] Time can come and take away the pain But I just want my memories to remain To hear your voice to see your face There’s not one moment I’d erase You are a guest here now
So baby how can I forget your love How can I never see you again How can I never know Why some stay otehrs go When I don’t ohhh I don’t want you oooh to go I guess I know by now that we will meet again somehow
Time can come and wash away the pain But I just want my mind to stay the same To hear your voice To see your face There’s not one moment I’d erase You are a guest here now
So baby how can I forget your love How can I never see you again?
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of wonder bread, and went right back to bed And history books forgot about us and the Bible didn’t mention us And the Bible didn’t mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came fallin’ on our heads But they’re just old light, they’re just old light Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red Told me I was beautiful, and came into my bed Oh, I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light And he told me that I’d done alright And kissed me till the mornin’ light, the mornin’ light And he kissed me till the mornin’ light
Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head Ate a slice of wonder bread, and went right back to bed Oh, we couldn’t bring the columns down Yeah, we couldn’t destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the Bible didn’t mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first

Regina Spektor – What we saw from the cheap seats (Album)
Firewood lyrics
The piano is not firewood yet They try to remember but still they forget That the heart beats in threes Just like a waltz And nothing can stop you from dancing
Rise from your cold hospital bed You’re not dying Everyone knows you’re going to live So you might as well start trying
The piano is not firewood yet But the cold does get cold So it soon might be that I’ll take it apart, call up my friends And we’ll warm up our hands by the fire
Don’t look so shocked Don’t judge so harsh You don’t know You are only spying Everyone knows it’s going to hurt But at least we’ll get hurt trying
The piano is not firewood yet But a heart can’t be helped And it gathers regret Someday you’ll wake up and feel a great pain And you’ll miss every toy you ever owned
You’ll want to go back You’ll wish you were small Nothing can slow the crying You’ll take the clock off of your wall And you’ll wish it was lying
Love what you have and you’ll have more love You’re not dying Everyone knows you’re going to love Though there’s still no cure for crying (fromHere)
