The Party Lyrics

Hey, sorry I'm late

There was an accident on the interstate

And I think I may have seen somebody crying

What's happened to me

I'm feeling emptiness, 'stead of empathy

And reality says that someone may be dying

Oooh, there's a shadow that sits on my soul

Oooh, and I'm feeling the weariness grow

Guess that's life, don't you know

I, I drove around

Past the ambulance and the siren sounds

And I listened as they faded into the night

I'm not ready yet

All of this elegance feels inappropriate

And this party, it's the last thing on my mind

Oooh, there's a shadow that sits on my soul

Oooh, and I'm feeling the weariness grow

Guess that's life, don't you know

Give me a minute more, I'm not quite ready for

All of the stares from your family and friends and I'll

Put on my makeup and try not to think of the

Accident site that's just five miles behind me and

Oooh, there's a shadow that sits on my soul

Oooh, and I'm feeling the weariness grow

Guess that's life, don't you know
