The Party

There's danger in the air
 They walk around in pairs
 Dancing to the Dansette
 Well, God Almighty, don't forget
 You came here with me
 ♪
 While Cinderella's getting hypnotized
 By the Italian with gray-green eyes
 I stand deliberately out of bounds
 Winding you up just to bring you down
 To my level
 ♪
 So, I'm sitting in a corner with a knife in my back
 Pretending not to notice that I'm under attack
 When a positive lack of direction breaks upon my shoulders
 You may dance with him all night long
 Live your romance out in a popular song
 But, baby, you're gonna miss me when the radio comes on
 And they're playing my song, all night long
 The boys are queuing up at every one night stand
 To issue their final demands
 The stand's telling them about this guy
 And so they're standing with her
 But they're keeping their eyes on some other girl
 ♪
 Me, I'm trying to hold it down
 By thinking about the words to some other song
 When I'm forced into making polite conversation
 I open up the window to get some ventilation
 Try to break away from the intellectual starvation
 Meanwhile the taxis are calling and the angels are falling
 Down into the garden of truth
 Where two star crossed lovers cut across one another
 And make their way home, one by one
 He may fire imagination into your minds
 I know strong personalities are hard to find
 You messed up mine
 We've got a good thing let's keep on trying
 Baby, you're gonna miss me
 When the radio comes 'round to my time
 When the radio comes on, so long
 When the radio comes on, you were gone
 ♪
 You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
 They're playing my song
 You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
