[Verse 1]
Standing on a rock in a river
Staring at the splintered sun
You could drown yourself in jewels
Like a thousand other fools
While you stand there looking down at what you've won

[Verse 2]
Sitting on a mountain of ashes
Face to face with past regrets
You could roll down to the canyon
Piss away this incarnation
But remember that you pay for what you get

[Bridge]
And he says "But don't you know
How hard it is
To hit the ground and mean it
And mean it?"

[Verse 3]
Walk the jangling streets of the city
Trying to find the buried sun
You could drown yourself in jewels
Like a thousand other fools
While you wander waiting for it to be done
[Chorus]
And he cries "Why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
Love can make you sad
Come on, let's drive ourselves mad"

[Bridge]
And he's aware
How hard it is
To kiss the sun and mean it
And mean it

[Chorus]
And he screams "Why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
Life can make you sad
Come on, let's drive ourselves mad"

[Verse 4]
Standing on a rock in a river
Staring at the rain made one
On the surface flashing diamonds
Rolling down the twilight canyon
And we shall kiss the sun in spite of him

[Outro]
So why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
Why don't we celebrate?
