Watching the Party Lyrics

Midnight neons blur in drunken eyes
And flicker their mad mad light
Fireworks fall like a floral arcade
It's a carnival tonight
And I'm watching the party
I'm watching the party
I'm listening to the laughing
I'm watching the party

Now here's the tv gameshow host
He's telling some marvellous jokes
Here's the prizes someone could win
Just make the lucky wheel of fortune spin
But I'm watching the party
I'm watching the party
I'm listening to the laughing
I'm watching the party

Picture a chintzy chintzy ballroom hall
Diamante necklaces and mirror-ball
The conductor yawns and looks at his watch
And swings his baton in time to a waltz
Me I'm watching the party
I'm watching the party
I'm listening to the laughing
I'm watching the party
