The Party letra

Oh, morning
I wake to the silence in the air
Something feels strange, but do I dare
Call out your name and find
You're not there

Old clothes and old photos
In messy piles around the room
Broken glass, the scent of your perfume
Those bitter memories that
Seem to loom

Lipstick
All smudged across the note that says you're gone
Not worth what it's written on
Why do I feel like such a pawn?
Will they find me hanging by dawn?

Say, pal
Life sure has given you a bag of lemons
But when life gives you lemons
You sally forth and give life what-for
Am I right?

Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right
And, anyway, I'm over it

One, two, three!
Oh, free again!
I pour a glass and raise it to the air
Dance a Russian hopak on a chair
And scream "bozhe moy" without a care

Oh, free again!
Cut away my shackles and my bounds
No longer is your chain pulling me down
Causing me to choke and finally drown

'Cause at last it's here
This life I'm waiting for
Pack my "ça va faire"
I'm heading out the door
Dance among the stars
Toss roses to the whores

Oh, la, dee, dee
Drinks on me
Bring on all the dancers
Call me "maitre de l'amour"

Oh, free again!
I pour a glass and raise it to the air
Dance a Russian hopak on a chair
And scream "bozhe moy" without a care

Oh, cover me in green
Call a limousine
Let's have some fun!
Fly to Spain and the Carribean
Ah, book me a room in the House of the Rising Sun!

'Cause at last it's here
This life I'm waiting for
Pack my "ça va faire"
I'm heading out the door
(Sayonara, see you later, bye!)
Dance among the stars
Toss roses to the whores

I'll fill up my bath with whiskey
Man, I'm feeling frisky
Slap me silly!
Paint me red!
Dance until I join the dead!

Oh, free again!
I pour a glass and raise it to the air
Dance a Russian hopak on a chair
And scream "bozhe moy" without a care

Oh, free again!
Cut away my shackles and my bounds
No longer is your chain pulling me down
Causing me to choke and finally drown

Oh, free again!
I pour a glass and raise it to the air
Dance a Russian hopak on a chair
And scream "bozhe moy" without a care

Oh, free again!
Cut away my shackles and my bounds
No longer is your chain pulling me down

Oh, Causing me to choke and finally--drown

Oh, morning
I wake to the silence in the air
Something feels strange, but do I dare
Call out your name (Mildred!) and find
You're not there
