Lyrics
Fill the kiddie pool
up with Prosecco
Get the LEDs on
need the spectacle
Gotta beat the one last week
let’s get a record
If you’re tryna be a go-getter
you gotta go and get it
Desperate times
call for desperate pleasures
Some legitimate headlines
mostly cries for attention
The camera speeds
copy ready to read
oughta be a good night
We’re live in 3, 2—
fuck, man, busted on a hot mic
Cuz it’s a hurricane
a hurricane party
End days
every other Wednesday
Live girls dance
dead men float
A hurricane party
gold dust, sex, and Bacardi
DJ says don’t hold back
because the water won’t
Looks like someone leaked the password
too much tea to clean earl grey disaster
Campaign manager come walks it backwards
but he’s the one who tipped TV—clever bastard
Shots fired in the echo chamber
rico-ricochet
The other side puts kids in danger
don’t matter what their argument, that’s what they always say
Front of the parade girl spins a baton
band leader conducts with a corn on the cob
The new sound gets everybody out on their lawn
composed for french horn, cash register, mob
Cuz it’s a hurricane
a hurricane party
End days
every other Wednesday
Live girls dance
dead men float
A hurricane party
gold dust, sex, and Bacardi
DJ says don’t hold back
because the water won’t
Okay, who broke the chain letter
too much bad luck to try to get away with it
One more plague, nobody goes to recess
Chatbots away take out your paper pieces
longhand
Gimme an essay on the living conditions in Oz written by the Strawman:
housing shot up, looking for a soft land
Dorothy comes to, couldn’t give a goddamn
Looking for a few recruits
to do what must be done
So if you got the heart and a pair of good boots
meet me at the food court by Forever 21
Cuz it’s a hurricane
a hurricane party
End days
every other Wednesday
Live girls dance
dead men float
A hurricane party
gold dust, sex, and Bacardi
DJ says don’t hold back
because the water won’t

Excellent, as always. Also, I love how the copy on the cue card is a lyric from Talking Business. Very nice touch.
LOVE THIS!!!! ❤❤❤
Who wants to join up at my hurricane party? We have sushi, champagne, and melancholic vibes!
Dessa remains one of my favorite lyricists of all time. I love this!
If you didn't click the "show more" on the video description and scrolled on down to the comments, you missed this gem: The fish featured in this video was purchased from a local grocer and neither killed nor brought back to life for this project.

Dessa delivers once again ❤
Dessa never disappoints. Excited for the new album!
Damn I missed you.
i love that this guy (Zach?) has been driving Dessa around in the shopping cart since I Already Like You MV.
In love, in love, in love!!
Chills. Just… chills… ❤
YES YES YES
I like the imagery of commercialism/commodity, reviving the dead sold fish and taking it to a nice aquarium. I like that it's to an aquarium and not just out to the ocean, it has more so the connotation of caring about wellbeing rather than just escape, be free if it kills you. And the shopping cart is a dynamic prop.
Nice new one. Looking forward to your show at The Middle East.
Love it! Can't wait for more.
She's looking great, btw.
i think i’m like 5k of the views
So. Many. Easter. Eggs. Have already watched 4 times. Wordplay still at an all-time high, captivating visuals. And again, the easter eggs. LOVE IT.
Fly
A day with new Dessa is a good day indeed. Brilliant lyricism, an incredibly natural flow, and fantastic singing, as always.
Fantastic fugutastic!
🖤 Ufffff goosebumps. Can't wait for the album!
I never heard of her or this group saw them randomly live in Grant Park on a monday 10 years ago, she looks exactly the same(hasn't aged a day! Not ass kissing, but being honest) her style, talent, and beauty is so consistent its almost eerie but admirable. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET??? keep up the good work lovely, so creative and glad your still putting your talent out there. God bless.
I was just smiling that whole 3 minutes. Feels good on the Ears. Keep it Flowing Dessa! Doomtree Zoo

The use of symbolism with the fish, resurrection, politics about media is phenomenal.Dessa is a saint who uses a bit of alchemy to bring a dead fish back to life.
The last I saw a fish it was after communion at a church dinner on Wednesday. A dead model of Jesus was on a cross above the baptism chamber, but there were no living fish in the water. What we had was dead, cooked, then eaten. When it was eaten there was nothing to see. Almost as if it had never existed.
What the media tells us is fake.
Store food.
Dessa is always serving and this is no exception
BRILLIANCE! ❤❤❤
At least someone is uploading in this dead ass YouTube channel
Maybe the only artist that always exceeds the highest of expectations. Incredible talent. Stef, Cecil, Mike, et al are great but Dessa is a unicorn.
The other side puts kids in danger, Don't matter what their argument, that's what they always say
🙌🙌🙌
Brilliant 👌
Dessa never fails to impress. Really hope she adds some Canadian dates to her tour cause I'd love to see her live!
Dessa + Aleutian Calabay = music video MAGIC. I Already Like you, and now this?!? I love it!!! Such a good song. Watching and listening on repeat.
I got 22 seconds in and was so excited I had to pause bc I thought I might PUKE. This is AMAZING I cannot wait for September!!
You gone got it 🎉saw you last night with MN orchestra, you're a fucking beast 😢🎉❤
John Prine levels of truth in this one.
:11 so THATS why I sold all that prosecco the other nights! –part time bartender at OH and new fan
Okay, but I need to know what brand those boots are – they're dead ringers for a pair that I wore into the ground 20 years ago and have been trying to find a replacement for ever since
