House of Winston Lyrics
yeah don't let your lipstick wear
we'll make a swift escape
and use the rest to write it down
so that we can remember the way
your father turned around to say
"oh boy, just choose a side"
but I wanna waste your time
yeah I wanna waste your time
oh into the night
oh but don't let your loving show
oh we'll find a new home
and use the rest to build it up
so we can remember the way
your father turned around to say
"oh boy just choose a side"
but I wanna waste your time
yeah I wanna waste your time
oh well, my mother said when I was born
oh my father sworn we'd win the war
well my mother said when I was born
yeah my father sworn we'd win the war
but I wanna waste your time
yeah I wanna waste your time
oh into the night
yeah I wanna waste your time
I wanna waste your time
oh into the night
we'll make a swift escape
and use the rest to write it down
so that we can remember the way
your father turned around to say
"oh boy, just choose a side"
but I wanna waste your time
yeah I wanna waste your time
oh into the night
oh we'll find a new home
and use the rest to build it up
so we can remember the way
your father turned around to say
"oh boy just choose a side"
but I wanna waste your time
yeah I wanna waste your time
oh my father sworn we'd win the war
well my mother said when I was born
yeah my father sworn we'd win the war
but I wanna waste your time
yeah I wanna waste your time
oh into the night
I wanna waste your time
oh into the night

The House of Winston makes reference to a funeral home in Los Angelas. Capturing the awkward double-sided experience of a funeral of someone who has lost their father. Where he or she is expected to maintain their composure and image, be concise and entertaining with the service, but expresses the dipole desire to share stories all night in remembrance.
