Lyrics:

At the Party
I fell down
down the stairs again-
over my party dress-and
into Concrete Glen

The street lights- a river
the honking- the birds
the many, many people-fishes
coming up for air

who’da thought a river’d come and take me away?
who’da thought I’d sink into it- down deeper in the clay-
who’da tried to pull me back- reaching out for me-
when I’m smiling through the icy flows
light reflecting off my teeth

Baby look around- its your first time ain’t it?
oh- you like the sound of Your First Time dontcha?
kiss you on the mouth
swallow you down
Concrete Glen
Never let you out

Baby look around- its your first time ain’t it?
oh- you like the sound of Your First Time dontcha?
kiss you on the mouth
swallow you down
Concrete Glen
Never let you out

At the party
I’m talking
I’m taking a sip
I pull on a cigarette
it’s sticking to my lip

Surrounded by the laughter
surrounded by my friends
but in my eyes reflected
there shines out
Concrete Glen
Baby look around- its your first time ain’t it?
oh- you like the sound of Your First Time dontcha?
kiss you on the mouth
swallow you down
Concrete Glen
Never let you out

Baby look around- its your first time ain’t it?
oh- you like the sound of Your First Time dontcha?
kiss you on the mouth
swallow you down
Concrete Glen
Never let you out
