we are scientists - after hours

this night is winding down, but
time means nothing
as always at this hour
time means nothing
one final final round 'cause
time means nothing

My friend ____ introduced me to We Are Scientists's "The Great Escape" during a mixed CD swap back in my government days. I would only come across this song, "After Hours," a couple of years later. Far too late for me -- it's exactly what I wanted to be listening to, jumping around after stumbling home at 3 am, exhausted from a late night but still running off the adrenaline rush.

On a good night out with my friends, we feel near invincible. Anything can happen when you've all had a few and the combination of alcohol and sleep deprivation allow you to talk about anything and everything, with a little more edge and frankness than you ever do during the sober day. I never seem to have enough hours in a day, unless it's Friday evening... who needs to sleep, anyway?

I am getting too old for this, and I know it. But ten years from now, when I want to reminisce about my good ol' wild drinking days, this song will take me right back.
