People’s Parties

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All the people at this party, they've got a lot of style Saw stamps of many countries, saw passport smiles Some are friendly, some are cutting Some are watching them from the wings Some are standing in the center, giving to get something [Verse 2] Photo beauty gets attention and 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 knees Saying, "Laughing and crying, you know it's the samе release" [Verse 3] I told you whеn 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 Stone-cold Grace behind her fan Me in frightened silence, thinking I don't understand [Verse 4] I feel like I'm sleeping, can you wake me? Seem to have a broader sensibility I'm just living on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind Coming to people's parties, fumbling deaf, dumb and blind [Verse 5] I wish I had more sense of humor, keeping the sadness at bay Throwing the lightness on these things, laughing it all away [Outro] Laughing it all away Oh, laughing it all away Oh, laughing it all away Laughing it all away
