The Party

Hey, sorry I'm late
There was an accident on the interstate
And I think I may have seen somebody crying

What's happened to me?
I'm feeling emptiness, 'stead of empathy
And reality says that someone may be dying

Oooh, there's a shadow that sits on my soul
Oooh, and I'm feeling the weariness grow
Guess that's life, don't you know

I, I drove around
Past the ambulance and the siren sounds
And I listened as they faded into the night

I'm not ready yet
All of this elegance feels inappropriate
And this party, it's the last thing on my mind

Oooh, there's a shadow that sits on my soul
Oooh, and I'm feeling the weariness grow
Guess that's life, don't you know

Give me a minute more, I'm not quite ready for
All of the stares from your family and friends and I'll
Put on my makeup and try not to think of the
Accident site that's just five miles behind me and

Oooh, there's a shadow that sits on my soul
Oooh, and I'm feeling the weariness grow
Guess that's life, don't you know
