lyrics
Sweet song is a long con
I drove ya to the airport with the E-brake on
aint 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 toward 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
cause your eyes are the green of tornado skies
cause even the best champagne still tastes like
elderberry wine
