When the party's over, it's quarter to four I took off my heels 'cause I can't dance anymore When the party's over, forgot why I came Went for the thrill but I am feeling the same When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party started, I was doing my thing Was lost in the music 'til I found me again When the party started, I was top of my game But now that it's over I don't feel anything When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah So where do we, where do we go? 'Cause we're not seventeen anymore The drink in your cup sinking in It's all over before we begin When the party's over When the party's over There's no music playing, I'm outside my house Smoking a cigarette just so I stay out It's early AM, kids are going to school I'm still in my party dress, I look like a fool When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah So where do we, where do we go? 'Cause we're not seventeen anymore The drink in your cup sinking in It's all over before we begin When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When the party's over, ah, ah When it's all over (when it's all over) When it's all over (when it's all over) When it's all over When it's all over, all over When it's all, when it's all over When it's all, when it's all over When it's all, when it's all over Yeah

All we chase is shining in the moonlight Are we sure the kids are alright Or just playing it cool? Watch it fade It's gonna hurt from time to time One more drink and I'll be fine You're the living proof Are you still playing the game Or breaking the rules? I can see all the pain In the way that you move Face to face They told us it was paradise But I'll barely make it through the night Do you think about it too? Are you still playing the game Or breaking the rules? I can see all the pain In the way that you move In the way that you move I got a soul on fire I'm gonna make moves tonight I got a soul on fire I'm gonna raise roofs tonight Before the party is over Before the party is over Before the party is over Before the party is over

The name is Cobb Knobbler And you're here with me now I'll tell ya punks, the name's Cobb Knobbler Satanic Nazi, Weenie gobbler I was in the 'Nam, now I'm on the lam Joined up with the X-Cops, kickin' ass and porkin' chops The party's over I wear a uniform The party's over I wanna keep you warm These are moments that I treasure Agony is placed with pleasure I know I'll do my duty I'll restrain my gay-boy booty The party's over I wear a uniform The party's over I wanna keep you warm I tried to die and then I cried Really had to look inside What it was that got me here I am just a big fat queer Sacrifice a goat, slice your fucking throat That's right punk, I'm also on junk The party's over The party's over Well I love to look at Hitler's maps Hobnail boots and leather chaps I used to live in San Francisco Drop your drawers and pass the crisco Now I'm naked on display, all the bad guys know I'm gay They line up around the block, to suck the ghost of Hitler's cock Suck my motherfuckin' dick!

They deliver all the trouble to my front door, Served my wife with papers and a gun Please remember the man with whom you're dealing, Never was a father or your son Just another dog you chose cause he would run There's a wall cloud rolling across the blue sky Karma manifest into a form If you wonder the reason why I'm smiling, It's because I know her love will keep me warm Yeah we're the kind of folks that kinda like a storm We batten down the hatches and hold each other close, A joint and a couple matches feeds the flame I'm afraid for you, it's getting dark, Sundown at the trailer park and nothin's gonna look the same A tornado doesn't ask the fool his name Having visions of things that bare explaining, No answers in religion or the law Sending thugs out to call it all illusion, Doesn't change belief in a what I saw A translation of the writing on the wall We batten down the hatches and hold each other close, A joint and a couple matches feeds the flame I'm afraid for you, it's getting dark, Sundown at the trailer park and nothin's gonna look the same A tornado doesn't ask the fool his name We batten down the hatches and hold each other close, A joint and a couple matches feeds the flame For you, my friend, it's getting dark, Lights out at the trailer park and nothin's gonna look the same A tornado doesn't ask the fool his name

I refuse to spend the rest of my days trying to get away From all the things I did when I knew not what I had done O so young and tired and love was not an item My own bottle always refused to hear Them tell me not to stare into the sun This pornographic place told me a body was to be feared And then wanted at the same time Man, if you could figure how Feared because it was the pathway to the mortal sin And then wanted because we'll all be dust a Few short years from now. It's a broken hearted world that we inherit All we're told to do is sin and bear it For a little while, On the dark and dirty mile. It took awhile at least for me To live enough until I believed In none of what I heard and less than half of what I saw Mark the days have come and gone Some were lost and some were wrong On the way back home we'll figure out a place to place it all It's a broken hearted world that we inherit All we're told is to do sin and bear it For a little while, On this dark and dirty mile We're all family here on trial On the dark and dirty mile Finally I realized That knowledge better make you wise Or all the knots you learned to tie will leave you in a ball Helpless as when we were born Threaded bare and holy worn Out shivering as summer gives way to early fall It's a broken hearted world that we inherit All we're told is to do sin and bear it For a little while, On the dark and dirty mile We're all family here on trial On the dark and dirty mile

I got drunk by myself last night They say it's no way to make things right I just didn't have anything better to do The dog was asleep on the living room rug and I watched a show about crime and drugs Finished a bottle of bourbon until it was through I don't care that I can't sleep I'd just as soon stay up all week I might get some things done while others dream The heater broke and the room got cold And my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me Chorus: If everyone was together I guess no one would be alone Life's a lot of trade offs in the end Somewhere in the fields of heather The proud souls laugh and they love together Somewhere between passion and losing friends Sleep finally came but I woke up alone My head was next to the telephone I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades One thing that always seems true That's when I'm hung over the sky is blue A rough night for me will make a hell of a day And I believe in ghosts and democracy And that each man should leave his legacy Be that mans work great or be it small I don't believe in everything like The designated hitter or that diamond rings Will make love last forever for one and all Cause if everyone should be together Why are some many left alone Life's a lot of trade offs in the end Somewhere in the fields of heather The proud souls laugh and they love together Somewhere between passion and losing friends Somewhere between passion and losing friends

We kept part and connected by the same stretch of road And I'm tired of packin' round this heavy load It started out a stream but then the levee fell When the rain maker had some extra seeds to sell Well I just thought id call and see what's going on Did the hill country flatten out since I've been gone Are the fields all painted up in red and blue Are you thinking of me the times I'm thinking of you Chorus Well I just wanna drink til I'm not thirsty And I just wanna sleep til I'm not tired I just wanna drive till I run out of money I don't wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous The Yanks are in town and we got nothing to do You're neighbors are gone and you're feeling alone You can't kiss somebody on the telephone Did you go out last night and was it just a friend Would you care if I showed up there at 6: 00 am Drive all day with the top pulled down We could stay in all night or we could paint the town Chorus I guess I better go now it's getting too late There's a party downstairs and I thought I heard something break I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon Maybe later on this afternoon Chorus

For reasons that don't matter, I was walking down the alley When I heard this music coming through the screen Without really thinking, I walked up to the window To a scene that felt just like a dream She was standing in the kitchen, her face turned towards the ceiling Her eyes were closed, but still they held the light And from a battered guitar came a sound like angels weeping For all those restless spirits in the night I don't know how long I stood there, but it felt like many lifetimes Before I felt her love float away Walking back down the alley, feeling so much better I knew that I could take another day Cause she was standing in the kitchen, Her face turned towards the ceiling Her eyes were closed, but still they held the light And from a battered guitar came a sound like angels weeping For all those restless spirits in the night And from a battered guitar came a sound like angels weeping For all those restless spirits in the night
