  • Party girls don't get hurt
    Can't feel anything, when will I learn
    I push it down, I push it down

    I'm the one "for a good time call"
    Phone's blowin' up, ring up my doorbell
    I feel the love, feel the love

    One, two, three, one, two, three drink
    One, two, three, one, two, three drink
    One, two, three, one, two, three drink

    Throw 'em back, 'til I lose count

    I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
    I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
    Like it doesn't exist
    I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
    I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

    But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
    Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
    Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    On for tonight

    Sun is up, I'm a mess
    Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
    Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

    One, two, three, one, two, three drink
    One, two, three, one, two, three drink
    One, two, three, one, two, three drink

    Throw 'em back 'til I lose count

    I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
    I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
    Like it doesn't exist
    I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
    I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

    But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
    Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
    Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    On for tonight, on for tonight
    'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
    On for tonight, on for tonight
    'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
    Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
    On for tonight, on for tonight Writer/s: Jesse Shatkin, Sia Furler

  • Luke from WinnipegWhen I saw the emotion of her performance of Chandelier on SNL the video with Maddie Ziegler seemed a bit silly.
    The SNL performance was beautiful.
