Mitchell, Joni – People’s Parties Lyrics

Artist: Mitchell, Joni
Song: People’s Parties

All the people at this party
They’ve got a lot of style
They’ve got stamps of many countries
They’ve got passport smiles

Some are friendly
Some are cutting
Some are watching it from the wings
Some are standing in the center

Giving to get something
Photo beauty gets attention
Then her eye paint’s running down
She’s got a rose in her teeth

And a lampshade crown
One minute she’s so happy
Then she’s crying on someone’s knee
Saying laughing and crying

You know it’s the same release
I told you when I met you
I was crazy
Cry for us all, beauty

Cry for Eddie in the corner
Thinking he’s nobody
And Jack behind his joker
And stonecold Grace behind her fan

And me in my frightened silence
Thinking I don’t understand
I feel like I’m sleeping
Can you wake me

You seem to have a broader sensibility
I’m just living on nerves and feelings
With a weak and a lazy mind
And coming to peoples parties

Fumbling deaf dumb & blind
I wish I had more sense of humour
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things

Laughing it all away x 4
