The Party (Oh, My God!)

It's so dangerous just to live for a day
 When will the party begin? Everybody's hesitating
 Stretching their bows... aiming their arrows...
 The Bell rings, and the guests come filling in
 Beneath the clock, and the Party begins...
 Oh, My God!
 The broken-hearted parade
 The boys coming home from the war
 They learned to forget so much
 They used to know a whole lot more
 But can't afford to live in that part of town no more
 They boarded up all the doors!
 We were in love when we raised our sails in the air
 And now we come home, and it hurts just to breathe around here
 Now look in my eyes, you see the blade's about to come down
 'Cause boy I ain't your father no more
 So don't come around
 Oh, My God!
 Oh, My God!
 Fire, flood, and Hell to pay for a long time
 I cut it and ran away onto the downtown wire
 The World's Whip raised in the air, my home is below...
 Oh, My God!
 Oh, My God!
