You To Thank (Live in AEC Theatre, Adelaide, Australia, 5/22/11) - Ben Folds

By the time the buzz was wearing off

We were standing out on the sidewalk

With our tattoos that looked like rings

In the hot Nevada sun

Gifts piled high

And our moms and dads shook hands

And our party of polaroid friends

Rented a pool and hired a band

Maybe they knew more than we knew

'Cuz they danced and drank

While we jumped off the deep end

I've got you to thank for this

Christmas came around

Yeah, and everything was going to crap

For moms and dads

Not a clue to be had

We put on a pretty good act

And they seemed to all need to believe it

So we danced and smiled

And paddled hard beneath it

Oh, I've got you to thank for this

You can't say

You've never had

A doubt

You smoked it down

But really wanted out

By the time the buzz was wearing off

We were standing out on the sidewalk

With our tattoos that looked like rings

In the hot Nevada sun

And they won't fade

I've got you to thank
