Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles (Live)

People's Parties (Live at Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA, 8/14-17, 1974)

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 centre
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 that I was crazy
Cry for us all beauty
Cry for Eddie in the corner
Thinking he's nobody
And Jack behind his joker
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
Me in my frightened silence
Thinking I don't understand

I feel like I've been 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 people's parties
Fumbling deaf, dumb, and blind

Oh, I wish I had more sense of humor, sometimes
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away
Laughing it all away
Laughing it all away
Laughing it all away
