House Band Lyrics

I don't know where we're going wrong
We turn our amps up every song
I know that it's a lot to ask
But we'd appreciate if you could dance
We're the house band

We ain't opening no we want the eight-o-clock slot tonight
We got the cops to come out last time I think we've earned the right
I know you'd like to hear us play but let me ask before I forget
Is there anyone here who hasn't bought Twin Fantasy yet?
(No? Okay)

Although we know that you said you don't deserve it
Plus the dream is learning no one will concern us
So I believe that we're getting burned

I don't know where we're going wrong
We turn our amps up every song
I know that it's a lot to ask
But we'd appreciate if you could dance
Cus' we're the house band

And we'd like to take the time to thank the establishment
If they make enough money tonight we may not face banishment
It's been a while since we started here I hope our sound has matured
If we have any dignity we won't play "Psycho Killer" no more
(Play "Psycho Killer"!)

And if we see a new face in the audience
And if the grandmas sing bartenders would not take offense
We'll play you our new song tonight because

Don't you want to see to see me suffer?
I know that you may have another
Can't tell that we were ever our best
There's something always making me hurt

Yeah
Oh [Harmonica of previous verse.]
There's something
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, far better

I don't know where we're going wrong
We turn our amps up every song
I know that it's a lot to ask
But we'd appreciate if you could dance
The house band
