The Party’s Over

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Old dirty floors and old smoky barrooms There's someone on stage, can you please let me in? I used to sit there when I was a young man It'll be real good just to see you again Horses and forces beyond my horizon They push the world right on by [Chorus] Yeah, the party's over And I can't believe it It's time to say goodbye [Verse 2] I mounted a pony, the curtains were swinging I once was a writer of disparate means The landlord is smoking a butt in the hallway My instincts get duller the more that I drink Hi-ye hi-yo, the hands are all singing The ominous weight of it all [Chorus] Yeah, the party's over And I must be dreaming I went right over the wall [Verse 3] I'll get us a taxi or an old wooden sailboat Inside it's pouring, but outside it's fine The sweet breath of chicory in your light prairie garden We were drunk on each other and Croatian wine The music remembers intelligent forces The wet city sidewalk in June [Chorus] Yeah, the party's over And I'm left here thinking Of the dogs and the moonlight and you Yeah, I'm left here thinking Of the dogs and the moonlight and you
