They say the parties over now
The hosts have gone to bed
‘Please, can u keep the music down?’
Was the last thing that they said
I sit amongst the detritus
Of the laughter and the fun
Waiting in the darkness here
For the rising of the sun
I guess the party’s over now
Everyone has gone away
They climbed into their cars & left
Though I begged for them to stay
They all lay sleeping somewhere
Pleasant dreams, I wish to send
I guess the party’s over now
The last one up again
Yes, the party’s over now
The day is finally here
Not much to show for the wild side
But some empty cans of beer
It’s just old Eben Flood & I
Tomorrow tastes of rust
Yes the party’s over now
It all has turned to dust
