Lyrics:

I opened a bar for all my friends
Who have no work and for the ones
Who do have work to safely vomit
What they've earned into the hall

Underneath a disco ball

I opened a bar for arctic plates
Where they can melt on microwaves
And I opened a bar for veterans
To chat about dismemberments
To smash some faces when they're bored
And raise their glass to presidents

And fall asleep before they're old
Today, today, hurray, hurray
I opened a bar

I opened a bar for my boyfriend
The one who always held my hand
In public places when we drank
For him to wonderfully spend the night
With his new lover
Whispering lyrics of romance
That they can't write or understand
I will start a clever hash-tag trend
#Ohwemostlygrowbydying

Today, today, hurray, hurray
I opened a bar

I opened a bar for myself
A purely self-loving event
In case I suddenly fall ill
And Chemo will not take effect
Instead of spending weeks in bed
Attached to intravenous drips
And I have never taken drugs
So why start now when there's my pub
Where I can climb the neon ads
From the street up to the top
An independent European
Who has never needed someone
To blow the whole thing up

Hurray, hurray, today, today
I opened a bar
A bar, a bar, a bar, a bar

Today, today, hurray, hurray
I opened a bar, a bar

I opened a bar for my own mother
To explore when she discovers
That I passed and she may long for
A place to find the clues
