All the people at this par-ty

They’ve got a lot of style

They’ve got stamps of many coun-tries

They’ve got passport smiles

Some are friend-ly, some are cutting

Some are watch-ing it from the wings

Some are stand-ing in the cen- - ter

Giving to get something

Photo beauty gets at-ten- tion

Then her eye paint’s running down

She’s got a rose in her teeth

And a lampshade crown

One minute she’s so happy

Then she’s cry-ing on someone’s knee

Saying, “Laugh-ing and cry-ing

You know, it’s the same release”

I told you when I met you

I was cra-zy

Cry for us all, beauty

Cry for Eddie in the cor-ner

Thinking he’s nobody

And Jack behind his joker

And stone-cold Grace behind her fan

And me in my frightened si- - -lence

Thinking I don’t understand

I feel like I’m sleep- ing

Can you wake me?

You seem to have a broad-er sensibility

I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings

With a weak and a lazy mind

And com-ing to people’s par- - ties

Fumb-ling deaf, dumb, and blind

I wish I had more sense of humor

Keeping the sad- -ness at bay

Throwing the lightness on these things

Laughing it all away

(3x)

Laugh-ing it all away
