People's Parties

歌詞

All the people at this party Theyve got a lot of style Theyve got stamps of many countries Theyve 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 paints running down Shes got a rose in her teeth And a iampshade crown One minute shes so happy Then shes crying on someones knee Saying laughing and crying You know its 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 hes nobody And jack behind his joker And stone-cold grace behind her fan And me in my frightened silence Thinking I dont understand I feel like Im sleeping Can you wake me You seem to have a broader sensibility Im 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 ot humor Keeping the sadness at bay Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all away Laughing it ali away Laughing it all away Laughing it all away
