lyrics

I go to celebrate the fact that I just won the war
I thump my chest jump up and down and then let out a roar
Looking around I ‘member no one’s here to share my glee
Cuz no one’s at the party if the party is just me

No one is at the party if the party is just me
No one toasts my victories or weeps with sympathy
No one made the birthday cake and no one booked the clown
Cuz no one is at the party - they’re all out of town.

But still
But still
I'm getting out of my bed this morning
Hard to get out of your head they told me
Hell is other people / Jean-Paul told Simone
She just laughed and sat down to her dinner all alone....

I used to think that friends were fellow soldiers in the fight
Better to side with strong-arms than be on the losing side
I’d love to learn to let a warmer force into my life
But no one comes to party with a girl who loves to hide

If I was on an airplane and it started to go down
I wouldn’t know just who to call. Instead, I’d look around
And watch as people called their people, sharing dying words
My own last declarations would be only for the birds

But still
But still
I'm getting out of my bed this morning
Hard to get out of your head they told me
Hell is other people / Sartre told Simone
She just laughed and sat down to her dinner all alone.

No one is at the party if the party is just me
No one toasts my victories or weeps with sympathy
No one made the birthday cake and no one booked the clown
Cuz no one's at the party - they’re all out of town.
They're all out of town
No one's at the party.
