People's Parties |
| all the people at this party |
| they’ve got a lot of style |
| they’ve got stamps of many countries |
| they’ve got passport smiles |
| some are friendly |
| some are cutting |
| some are watching it from the wings |
| some are standing in the centre |
| giving to get something |
| photo beauty gets attention |
| then her eye paint’s running down |
| she’s got a rose in her teeth |
| and a lampshade crown |
| one minute she’s so happy |
| then she’s crying on someone’s knee |
| saying laughing and crying |
| you know it’s the same release |
| i told you when i met you |
| i was crazy |
| cry for us all beauty |
| cry for eddie in the corner |
| thinking he’s nobody |
| and jack behind his joker |
| and stone-cold grace behind her fan |
| and me in my frightened silence |
| thinking i don’t understand |
| i feel like i’m sleeping |
| can you wake me you seem to have a broader sensibility |
| i’m just living on nerves and feelings |
| with a weak and a lazy mind |
| and coming to peoples parties |
| fumbling deaf dumb and blind |
| i wish i had more sense of humor |
| keeping the sadness at bay |
| throwing the lightness on these things |
| laughing it all away |
| laughing it all away |
| laughing it all away |
