I Opened a Bar

I opened a bar for all my friends who have no work

And for the ones who do have work

The safety from it

What they've earned into the hall

I'm underneath the disco ball

I opened a bar for active plates

Where they can melt the microwaves

And I open a bar for veterans

Chat about those moments

To smash some faces when they're bored

And raise their glass to presidents

Fall asleep before their own

Today, today, hooray, hooray

I opened the bar

I opened a bar for my boyfriend

The one who always held my hand in public places

When we drank

Bring him to wonderful, he spend the night with his new lover

And whispering lyrics of romance that they can't write or understand

I almost started cover hashtag trends

Oh, we must keep grow by guidin'

Today, today, hooray, hooray

I opened the bar

I opened a bar for myself

The purely self-loving events

In case I suddenly fall ill and chemo will not take effect

Instead of spending weeks in bed attached intravenous  drips

And I've never taken drugs, so why start now?

And then my part, where I can claim the neon ads

From the street up to the top

An independent European

Who has never needed someone

To blow the whole thing up

Hooray, hooray, today, today

I opened the bar

A bar, a bar, a bar, a bar

Today, today, hooray, hooray

I opened a bar

A bar

I opened a bar for my mother

Who'll explode when she discovers

That I passed then she may long for

A place to find the clues
