All the people at this [G] party, they've got a lot of [D] style.
_ They've got stamps of many [Em] countries.
They've got [Am]
passport [Bm] smiles.
Some are friendly, some are cutting, some [Em] are watching it from the wings.
[D] Some are standing in the center, giving [G] a get something.
[D] _ _ _
Photo beauty gets [G] _ attention, then her eye [D] paint's running down.
She's got a [Am] rose in her teeth and a lamb-shaped crown.
[Bm] One minute she's so happy, [D] then [Em] she's crying on someone's knee,
[A] saying, [D] laughing, and crying, you [E] know it's the same release. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] I told you when I met you that I was [G] crazy.
Cry for us [D] all, beauty.
Cry for Eddie in the [Am] corner, thinking he's [Bm] nobody.
Jack behind his joker and Stone [Em] Cold Grace behind her [D] fan.
Me in my frightened silence, [E] thinking I don't understand. _ _ _
_ _ [D] I feel like I've been _
[G] sleeping.
_ [D] Can you wake me?
You seem to [Am] have a broader [D] sensibility.
I'm just [Bm] living on nerves and feelings [Em] with a weak and a lazy _ [D]
mind.
And coming to people's parties, [A] fumbling, deaf, dumb, and blind.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Oh, I wish I [A] had more sense of humor [G] sometimes.
Keeping [D] the sadness at bay, throwing the lightness [Am] on these things.
[D] Laughing it [Bm] all away.
