lyrics

LIFE OF THE PARTY

You are on the sidewalk thinking
And Marlon Brando walks by
Staring at the sky and blinking
It is not apparent why

But now you're in a restaurant
Where the waitress spills your coffee
And through the plate-glass window you see
Paul McCartney sleeping in a taxi

Yesterday Amanda Flowers
With whom we're not familiar yet
Grew an aura at the airport
While she read a novelette

She seemed to be so naturally artificial darling
I'll bet she learned it at the movie house
Because it doesn't look as though she did

You have to look so far these days

Life of the party
(Life of the party)
Talk of the town
(Say can you see, oh can you see?)
Everybody feels it
(Shadows ask a question)
Just can't pin it down
(Life of the party)

Please excuse me Mr. Warhol
I understand your hesitation
I know everybody bugs you
Because they want to be somebody

That's why I'm at your hotel door
At three o'clock in the morning
I know it's late but this won't wait
I just want you to know I understand

The type of thing that you're going through

Life of the party
(You feel that something's missing)
Scene of the crime
(Don't walk away, don't walk away)
You'd better get it right
(The camera keeps on moving)
I mean right every time
(Life of the party)
