This Is Not a Party

  • Lulu's doing haircuts, though I don't think she can see.
    Brendan's found a song to match the pace of his heartbeat.
    Why do I do this? Why do I do this at all?
    Edward's on the big white telephone to God.
    Charlie's coming on to every person he can touch.
    Why does this happen every time I dream in Technicolor, and I live in black and white?

    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    And no one really cares, so let's pretend we're all okay.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.

    Roxie's made the call although her boyfriend wants to go.
    James rolled on the floor, and I've lost all self control.
    Why does this happen?
    Why must it be?
    I dream of space and time, then wake up in 2D.

    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    And no one really cares, so let's pretend we're doing great.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.

    You're complicated.
    You're complicated.
    You're complicated.
    Why so complicated?
    Well go to sleep, don't worry about me.
    I'm just fishing for the moon and artificial sea.

    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    And I don't really care, and I'm never gonna change.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.

    This is not a party; it's a hurricane.
    You said we'd never work; you said we weren't the same,
    And I don't really care, and I don't ever want to change.
    This is not a party; it's a hurricane. Writer/s: Daniel Joseph Haggis, Matthew Edward Murphy, Tord Oeverland Knudsen
