All the people at this par-ty

They’ve got a lot of style

They’ve got stamps of many coun-tries

They’ve got passport smiles

 Some are friend-ly, some are cutting

 Some are watch-ing it from the wings

 Some are stand-ing in the cen- - ter

 Giving to get something

Photo beauty gets at-ten- tion

 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 cry-ing on someone’s knee

 Saying, “Laugh-ing and cry-ing

You know, it’s the same release”

 I told you when I met you

 I was cra-zy

 Cry for us all, beauty

 Cry for Eddie in the cor-ner

Thinking he’s nobody

 And Jack behind his joker

 And stone-cold Grace behind her fan

 And me in my frightened si- - -lence

 Thinking I don’t understand

 I feel like I’m sleep- ing

 Can you wake me?

 You seem to have a broad-er sensibility

 I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings

 With a weak and a lazy mind

 And com-ing to people’s par- - ties

 Fumb-ling deaf, dumb, and blind

 I wish I had more sense of humor

Keeping the sad- -ness at bay

Throwing the lightness on these things

 Laughing it all away

(3x)

Laugh-ing it all away
