It was the last night of the 20th Century |
|
And the party was going strong |
|
Champagne, beer wine and whisky |
|
Everyone was totally gone |
|
2am in the morning I see a stranger walking in |
|
Said his name was Charlie and somebody'd sent for him |
|
Then everybody's laughing, everybody's high |
|
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why |
|
I'd never seen such a queue for the bathroom |
|
Since I hung out at The Sunset Bar |
|
And that line of Californian denial |
|
Didn't stretch even halfway as far |
|
I never had so many people boring me to death |
|
Am I the only fool that needs to go to bed? |
|
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high |
|
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why |
|
Just wanna die |
|
If you're staring in the face of temptation |
|
But it don't blow your skirt up high |
|
You're naive to the situation |
|
'Til your friends get that look in their eyes |
|
'Cause when they ask the question |
|
Why I never had a try, |
|
I said |
|
"Take a look around the room, you'll see the reason why!" |
|
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high |
|
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why |
|
Don't know why |
|
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high |
|
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why |
|
No I don't know why |
|
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high |
|
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why |
|
'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high |
|
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why |
