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 'til 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 'til I hear you say we're going home

Clearly dawns another day
I must ask to make my way
I dress and drink and eat
Groom my fingers and my feet
Learn a little, here and there
Weep and laugh and sweat and sprain
Hear a song and watch a stage
Read some words on a page
For I walk as blind as wool
Back to bed it's time 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 'til 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
