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 tonight
 And I'm watching the party
 I'm watching the party
 I'm listening to the laughing
 I'm watching the party
 Now here's the tv gameshow host
 He's telling some marvellous jokes
 Here's the prizes someone could win
 Just make the lucky wheel of fortune spin
 But I'm watching the party
 I'm watching the party
 I'm listening to the laughing
 I'm watching the party
 Picture 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 waltz
 Me I'm watching the party
 I'm watching the party
 I'm listening to the laughing
 I'm watching the party
