| It was the last night of the 20th Century
|
| And the party was going strong
|
| Champagne, beer wine and whisky
|
| Everyone was totally gone
|
| 2am in the morning I see a stranger walking in
|
| Said his name was Charlie and somebody’d sent for him
|
| Then everybody’s laughing, everybody’s high
|
| Everybody’s laughing, but I don’t know why
|
| I’d never seen such a queue for the bathroom
|
| Since I hung out at The Sunset Bar
|
| And that line of Californian denial
|
| Didn’t stretch even halfway as far
|
| I never had so many people boring me to death
|
| Am I the only fool that needs to go to bed?
|
| 'Cause everybody’s laughing, everybody’s high
|
| Everybody’s laughing, but I don’t know why
|
| Just wanna die
|
| If you’re staring in the face of temptation
|
| But it don’t blow your skirt up high
|
| You’re naive to the situation
|
| 'Til your friends get that look in their eyes
|
| 'Cause when they ask the question
|
| Why I never had a try
|
| I said
|
| «Take a look around the room, you’ll see the reason why!»
|
| 'Cause everybody’s laughing, everybody’s high
|
| Everybody’s laughing, but I don’t know why
|
| Don’t know why
|
| 'Cause everybody’s laughing, everybody’s high
|
| Everybody’s laughing, but I don’t know why
|
| No I don’t know why
|
| 'Cause everybody’s laughing, everybody’s high
|
| Everybody’s laughing, but I don’t know why
|
| 'Cause everybody’s laughing, everybody’s high
|
| Everybody’s laughing, but I don’t know why |
