All the Cool People Have Left the Party

by Thomas Anderson

from the album Heaven

Sometimes I dream,

Sometimes I ponder,

How absence makes

The heart grow fonder.

Through dark of night

She and I would wander,

But now she's gone

To the wild blue yonder.

All the cool people have left the party,

Nothin' but some loud and obnoxious goons.

All the cool people have left the party,

Don't know why they're leavin' but they're leavin' too soon.

The music's loud,

The lights are blazin';

Look at these people

With fascination.

Don't know a soul,

Not a sole acquaintance;

I can't believe

The hell they're raisin'.

All the cool people have left the party,

Nothin' but some loud and obnoxious goons.

All the cool people have left the party,

Don't know why they're leavin' but they're leavin' too soon.

A lady killer

Just like Clark Gable,

Feet propped up

On the coffee table.

Contact lost

One day in April,

He flew away,

Slippin' off the radar.

All the cool people have left the party,

Nothin' but some loud and obnoxious goons.

All the cool people have left the party,

Don't know why they're leavin' but they're leavin' too soon.
