The Party's Not Over

The party’s not over cause the liquor is gone
The neighbours complained
Oh the cops have been called
Everyone’s sleeping but I’m still awake
The party’s not over till I hear
You say we’re going home
The bottle was resting where
One sip was slung the dance floor was empty
Just a memory of fun
The ice will be melting before morning breaks

The party’s not over till I hear
You say we’re going home
Daily dawns another day
I must up to make my way
Though I dress and drink and eat
Move my fingers and my feet
Learn a little, here and there
Weep and laugh and sweat and swear

Hear a song and watch a stage
Leave some words upon a page
Though I walk in blinded woe
Back to bed I’m bound to go
The music has faded
The ashtray’s been filled
Your head may be aching, but one day be still
Restless and sober, but we all gotta stay
Cause the party’s not over till I
Hear you say we’re going home
And, um, happiness is, uh
Being in Hollywood, um
Having a lot of fur coats and jewelry
Having a lot of beautiful things
And, uh, giving happiness to other people
And, uh, we’re going to a lot of parties
