The boys and me took a car
And we went downtown
It's the only place we know
Where we'll be found
Rippin the guts outa
Stranded automobiles
Can't you see how beautiful it feels
Back home we lie in our beds
Is the day really day
Is the night really night
Won't it please go away
There is nothing to see
So we pull down the shades
You gotta pull down the shades
You gotta pull down the shades
We're havin fun and doin time
Sucking on our samovar and lime
Listen to the beautiful music of your screams
As we bust the picture windows of your dreams
Back home we lie in our beds
As if nothing is wrong
There's a gun at our heads
There's a knife at our lungs
There is nothing to do
So we pull down the shades
You gotta pull down the shades
You gotta pull down the shades
