Intro
-
All the people at this par-ty
Theyve got a lot of style
Theyve got stamps of many coun-tries
Theyve 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 paints running down
Shes got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown
One minute shes so happy
Then shes cry-ing on someones knee
Saying, Laugh-ing and cry-ing
You know, its 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 hes nobody
And Jack behind his joker
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
And me in my frightened si- - -lence
Thinking I dont understand
I feel like Im sleep- ing
Can you wake me?
You seem to have a broad-er sensibility
Im just liv-ing on nerves and feelings
With a weak and a lazy mind
And com-ing to peoples 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
