Intro
B E A E (2x)
[Verse 1]
B E A E
Everyone that greeted me, was moving slow and drinking fast
B E A E
I was lost inside a painting on a wall
B E A E
C# pretty baby with a cigarette, was looking for a place to ash
B E A E
Stumbling toward the voices down the hall
B E A E
They had 'Thriller' on the stereo, not the album, just the song
B E A E
For two dancers all in white, that no one really knew
B E A E
There were a lot of leather jackets, there was a haircut reading palms
B E A E
There was a line outside the bathroom that didn’t really move
[Chorus]
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Verse 2]
B E A E
Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like jumping in the pool
B E A E
Right after making sure the underwater lights were on
B E A E
I was staring at a silhouette, I was blushing like a fool
B E A E
Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it all along
B E A E
Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his glasses slightly bent
B E A E
He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he feels
B E A E
“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve begun the initial decent,
B E A E
And now it’s time to pull up on the wheel”
[Chorus]
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain

[Verse 3]
B E A E
On the floor of the living room, I saw my past life passed out
B E A E
Laying next to her handsome new flame
B E A E
I didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept for the grimace on his mouth
B E A E
He looked a lot like me, he seemed to be in pain
B E A E
I didn’t hear the picture window break, I didn’t see the rising sun
B E A E
But I could feel the morning breeze
B E A E
Then I heard her tired voice speak up and say “I think this party’s done”
B E A E
She asked if I could drive her home, and then she added please (Please)
[Chorus]
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
B E A E
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Outro]
