Modest Mouse – Lampshades on Fire Lyrics 11 years ago
There must be multiple versions of this song:

Ba-bup bup bup ba-da-da
Da-dup dup dup da-da-da
Where we all goin'?
Where we all goin'?

When the lampshade's on fire
When the lights go out
The room lit up and we ran about
This is what I really call a party now
Pack up our cars, move to the next town

When the lampshade's on fire
When the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, the fear makes us really, really run around
This one's done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have our shirt off
You all know what I'm talking about
Shave off my eyebrows and fall to the ground
So I can't look surprised right now

Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we'll make the same mistakes
Burn it up, or just chop it down
But this one's done so where to now?

Ba-bup bup bup ba-da-da
Da-dup dup dup da-da-da
Where we all goin'?
Where we all goin'?

When the lampshade's on fire
When the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, the fear makes us really, really run around
This one's done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have our shirt off
You all know what I'm talking about
The room lights up and we're still dancing around
We're having fun, having so fun now

Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we'll make the same mistakes
Open one up and let it fall to the ground
Pound on the door when you're almost out

Ba-bup bup bup ba-da-da
Da-dup dup dup da-da-da
Where we all goin'?
Where we all goin'?

We have spines among our bones
We'll eat your food, we'll throw stones
Oh, this is how it's always gone
This is how it's going to go

Well, we're the human race
We're going to party out of this place and then move on (tough love)
We'll kill you all, and then make a throne
Yeah we got spiders, yeah we have bones!
This is how it's always gone
And this is how it's going to go

As our feelings are getting hurt
Oh we want you to do the work!
Our ass looks great inside these jeans
Well, we want just our apartment clean

This is how it's always been
And this is how it's gonna be
So you just move on

Lamp's on fire so we're moving out
There to find another one 'cause this one's done
Waiting for the magic of the scientists' flood
To push, push, push, push, pull us up

Spend some time to float in outer space
Find another planet, make the same mistakes
Our mind's all shattered when we come and go
Hoping for the scientist to find another door

The New Pornographers – Brill Bruisers Lyrics 11 years ago
Here's my best guess:

Out on a wave
Over the railing asking the crowd
To send you back to stage instead of sailing away
They're left behind
The bruisers' searchlights leading the charge
The mass appeal
The brilliant bruisers taking the wheel

And the sea was all light
To do with the light
It's how we know now to never go back

Lob a grenade
And only seconds before the bang roll in to keep
Much of that the leader of your gang hold at their hearts
Oh brilliant bruisers, where will we find them?
Until we do, we'll have to drift until we find them

And the sea was all light
To do with the light
It's how we know now to never go back

With the junkyard science
To hang on
And do a bang-on
Impression
Of the young sorrow
It's tied in
The firing of the sirens
Go in fighting
To crying
The rising star dying
Of its own virus
It's tied in
The firing of the sirens

And the sea was all light
To do with the light
It's how we know now to never go back

And the sea was all light
To do with the light
It's how we know now to never go back
