  • I go to the parties
    Throw my hands in the air
    I drink what they pour me
    The cups of who cares
    Go up in the night sky
    Up in the clouds
    Fly over the houses
    Im looking down

    Joy to the city
    Joy to the streets
    And joy to you baby, wherever you sleep
    Tonight, tonight, tonight
    Tonight, tonight, tonight

    There's no ghosts in the graveyard
    That's not where they live
    They float in between us
    'what is' and 'what if'
    And cast our own shadows
    Before our own eyes
    You don't get them up here though
    They don't come up high

    Joy to the city
    The parking lot lights
    The lion of evening
    With the rain in its eyes
    Joy to the freeway
    Joy to the cars
    And joy to you baby, wherever you are
    Tonight, tonight, tonight
    Tonight, tonight, tonight

    There's pain in whatever
    We stumble upon
    If I never had met you
    You couldn't have gone
    But then I couldn't have met you
    We couldn't have been
    I guess it all adds up
    To joy to the end

    Joy to the city
    The heatwave and all
    To the lion of evening
    With the storm in its paw
    Joy to the many
    And joy to the few
    And joy to you baby
    Joy to me too
    Tonight, tonight, tonight
    Tonight, tonight, tonight
    Tonight, tonight, tonight Writer/s: JOSH RITTER
