Party Lights - Janis Ian

Party lights

Is there anybody here tonight?

Doesn’t anybody have a light?

Party lights

Champagne and caviar

Cocaine and Shalimar

Don’t push too far

Your party lights

People tell me that

I’m fading fast

But I can’t last

The whole night through

Everybody now

It’s closing time

I can’t find my way to you

Don’t lose your head

Remember all those things

Your mama said

But every vampire here appears well-fed

You look half-dead

They like you, kid

Party games

Somebody pinned a needle in me

And I went insane

Walking on the edge of the line

In the driving rain

I felt no pain

It’s a hell of a game

People tell me

There’s an end to this

But one last kiss

Turns into two

Everybody can’t leave now

I don’t know how

To make it through

Heady wine

Moving too slow for me

Can’t keep time

Watching the silent movie

For a sign

In my prime

Heady wine

You move too slow

I’m drowning- don’t let go

I’m drowning- can’t say no

Keep it low

Hell of a show

People tell me that

I’m fading fast

But I can’t last

The whole night trough

Everybody now

It’s closing time

I can’t find

My way to you
