Party Lights

Janis Ian

Party lights
Is there anybody here tonight?
Doesn't anybody have a light?
I invite your party life
Party lights. Champagne and caviar
Cocaine and Shalimar
Don't push too far -- your party lights

People tell me that I'm fading fast
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.
You're 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
and I can't say no.
Keep it low.
It's a hell of a show

People tell me that I'm fading fast
I can't last the whole night through
Everybody, now it's closing time
I can't find my way to you
