California Punch

California Punch
The night of the very end
Life was a birthday party
People made human chains
And street choreographies
But that fateful night
Stars were pretty sharp
Shinin' like switchblades
The night of the very end
Life was a happy game

Citizens drank champagne
And danced to disco classics
Then black holes of tears and pain
Oh-crashed against the dream
Then the lights turned out
Meltin' down the smiles
Freezin' up the bliss
The night of the very end
Life was a happy game

Oh what a shame
Here's the birthday cake
But who's gonna blow
All the candles?
