[St. Vincent - The Party lyrics]
Honey, the party, you went away quickly
But oh
That's the trouble with ticking and talking
I lick the ice cube from your empty glass
Oh, we've stayed much too late
Till they're cleaning the ashtrays
Do you have change or a button or cash?
Oh, my pockets hang out
Like two surrender flags
Oh, but I'd pay anything to
Keep my conscience clean
I'm keeping my eye on the exit sign
Steady now
How did we get here?
With creaks in these chairs
Oh, there aren't enough hands to
Point all the fingers
But, I sit transfixed by a
Hole in your tee shirt
Oh, I've said much too much and
They're trying to sweep up
But oh
That's the trouble with ticking and talking
I lick the ice cube from your empty glass
Oh, we've stayed much too late
Till they're cleaning the ashtrays
Do you have change or a button or cash?
Oh, my pockets hang out
Like two surrender flags
Oh, but I'd pay anything to
Keep my conscience clean
I'm keeping my eye on the exit sign
Steady now
How did we get here?
With creaks in these chairs
Oh, there aren't enough hands to
Point all the fingers
But, I sit transfixed by a
Hole in your tee shirt
Oh, I've said much too much and
They're trying to sweep up
