Watching the Party

Midnight neons blur in drunken eyes

And flicker their mad, mad light

Fireworks fall like a floral arcade

It's a carnival tonightAnd I'm watching the party

I'm watching the party

I'm listening to the laughing

I'm watching the party, yeahHere's the TV game show host

He's telling some marvelous jokes

Here's the prizes someone could win

Just make the lucky wheel of fortune spinBut I'm watching the party, yeah

I'm watching the party

I'm listening to the laughing

I'm watching the partyPicture a chintzy, chintzy ballroom hall

Diamante necklaces and mirror-ball

The conductor yawns and looks at his watch

And swings his baton in time to a waltzMe, I'm watching the party

I'm watching the party

I'm listening to the laughing

I'm watching the party
