text: All the people at this party
  Theyve got a lot of style
  Theyve got stamps of many countries
  Theyve got passport smiles
  Some are friendly
  Some are cutting
  Some are watching it from the wings
  Some are standing in the centre
  Giving to get something
  Photo beauty gets attention
  Then her eye paints running down
  Shes got a rose in her teeth
  And a lampshade crown
  One minute shes so happy
  Then shes crying on someones knee
  Saying laughing and crying
  You know its the same release
  I told you when I met you
  I was crazy
  Cry for us all beauty
  Cry for Eddie in the corner
  Thinking hes nobody
  And Jack behind his joker
  And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
  And me in my frightened silence
  Thinking I dont understand
  I feel like Im sleeping
  Can you wake me
  You seem to have a broader sensibility
  Im just living on nerves and feelings
  With a weak and a lazy mind
  And coming to peoples parties
  Fumbling deaf dumb and blind
  I wish I had more sense of humor
  Keeping the sadness at bay
  Throwing the lightness on these things
  Laughing it all away
  Laughing it alI away
  Laughing it all away
