The Party Songtext
von St. Vincent
The Party Songtext
Honey, the party
You went away quickly
But oh, that′s the trouble
With ticking and talking
I licked the ice cube
From your empty glass
Oh, we stayed much too late
'Til they′re cleaning the ashtrays
Do you have change
Or a button, or cash?
All my pockets hang out
Like two surrender flags
Oh, but I'd pay anything
To keep my conscience clean
I'm keeping my eye on the exits
I′m steady now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
How did we get here
With creaks in these chairs?
Oh, there aren′t enough hands
Oh, to point all the fingers
But I sit transfixed
By a hole in your T-shirt
I've said much too much
And they′re trying to sweep up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You went away quickly
But oh, that′s the trouble
With ticking and talking
I licked the ice cube
From your empty glass
Oh, we stayed much too late
'Til they′re cleaning the ashtrays
Do you have change
Or a button, or cash?
All my pockets hang out
Like two surrender flags
Oh, but I'd pay anything
To keep my conscience clean
I'm keeping my eye on the exits
I′m steady now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
How did we get here
With creaks in these chairs?
Oh, there aren′t enough hands
Oh, to point all the fingers
But I sit transfixed
By a hole in your T-shirt
I've said much too much
And they′re trying to sweep up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
