  • Sweet song is a long con
    I drove you to the airport with the E-brake on
    Ain't heard that voice in a long time
    Had to check back there to make sure you were alive
    Angel hum of an electric car
    Reverses towards me
    Sometimes in my head I give up and flip the board completely

    But everybody gets along just fine
    'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
    And the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine
    'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine

    You'll cry at commercials
    At an unbolted leg scraping against the ground
    As the tilt-a-whirl goes around
    Roll one up say it's mostly CBD
    Said I wanna have your baby
    'Cause I freckle and you tan
    I find comfort that angels don't give a damn

    But everybody gets along just fine
    'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
    And the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine
    'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine

    But everybody gets along just fine
    'Cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
    And your eyes are the green in tornado sky
    'Cause even the best champagne still tastes like elderberry wine Writer/s: Alexander Reuben Chelmis, Ethan Baechtold, Karly Matana Hartzman, Mark Jacob Lenderman, Richard Alan Miller
