Cathedral Birds - The Party's Over

The paper cup is lying on it's side
The drinks dispenser dripped until the faucet dried
The streamers gather dust on your desk
It's just like a night club after everyone has left
The party's over
For some of us it never
Quite began
While part of you was waiting the party moved on
The party's gone
The DJ puts the cover on the decks
The lights have been dismantled , their filaments turned red
The strip light is burning up your eyes
There's no one left standing that you even recognize
The party's over
For some of us it never
Quite began
While part of you was waiting the party moved on
The party's gone
Time to count collateral
Time to pay the cost
Time to pause the battle
Time to see what has been lost
They've put cigarettes in the kitchen sink
Someone scratched the vinyl somebody spiked the drink
A stranger is crying on the stairs
The scent of disappointment is hanging in the air
The party's over
For some of us it never
Quite began
While part of you was waiting the party moved on
The party's over
For some of us it never quite began
While part of you was waiting the party moved on
The party's gone
