Damien Dempsey - Party On lyrics

Doing E, doing speed, doing c**aine Mix it with alcohol and go insane In the morning the edge of the knife Where the hell is the bright side of life? It's a farcical high for a few hours Then you're blind and you can't see the bright flowers For the light of a child and the glee If you splurge then the law you'll agree Turns you into a shell of what you used to be All the weeks you're living in a fantasy Fantasize about the party to come Then your day life just doesn't seem fun I'm not telling you how to do your thing I'm just laying down some facts about indulging How the sh** going 'round can become Your controller, your dictator, your one I'm giving it up I swear in the New Year No more of that for me, you'll see I'm going to be going straight I can't wait Until this year is gone, party on Coming down on the ground in a small house You're a man but you feel like a small mouse Not so long ago you felt like a king Someone give me psychiatrist a ring We'll have no bread and feel feckin' brain dead All alone in a room full of E heads Feel so hollow and sickeningly and worthless There's no cure in the mosques or the churches I met strangers who barely six hours ago Were the best friends I thought I'd ever know Now they're strangers again 'cos I'm down And I won't say 'Hello' if I see them in town
