We're having a good time at Family Mart! (nichols) Back in the day when I first moved to Shanghai I got a job teaching ABCs. The Token Foreign Guy When all my friends went to the bar My measly salary wouldn't get me very far But I know, yes, I know Where all the English Teachers go... We're having a good time at Family Mart! Chugging warm Suntory. Financially Smart. (ivan) I go to Mao, Live Bar and Yuyintang But me and those bar prices, we don't get along I need a beer, only one thing to do I go down to Family Mart. I'll even get one for you. So there I go, yeah, there I go Smuggling beers into the show We're having a good time at Family Mart! Chugging warm Suntory. Financially Smart. (everyone) We're having a good time at Family Mart! We're having a good time at Family Mart! We're having a good time at Family Mart! We're having a good time at Family Mart! (x infinity)

She resides way past the water's edge At low tide, I gaze upon the dead They reach for me We live sprawled out upon the sand She sees her world's death in my hand Frightened, weeping You wait so long, tireless. This pyre's for you Tonight we wade the rocky shore Into the darkest wave To sleep evermore I'll be drowning while she sings Songs of sympathy Trapped inside the graves of kings Finally at peace This time I'll sleep at last She resides way past the water's edge A severed ghost in an open bed They reach for me We live sprawled out upon the sand At low tide, I navigate the land Frightened, weeping You wait so long, tireless This pyre's for you Tonight we wade the rocky shore Into the darkest wave To sleep evermore I'll be drowning while she sings Songs of sympathy Trapped inside the graves of kings Finally at peace This time I'll sleep at last. Her body floats across the water The ocean's calm betrays her song She doesn't know why the depths consume her Everything is still, she knows I will Drown for her With pleasure The queen will save me The ocean longs for her.
