Life of the Party

She made up her mind, or faked it
That tonight’s the final show
She’s chasing sunlight, shameless
In a shiny dress, well
She came into the party trying to catch a fix and
She never met a man that she couldn’t twist
Into a noose around her finger with the flick of a wrist
Now they’re headed to the back with the coolest kids
They’re always watching, always waiting
For you to come and entertain them
You’re the life of the party
She made up her mind, wasted
To stumble through the door
She met a stranger waiting
With all the name brand chemicals
She’s so desperate for attention, needs her name on the list
Her steps are desperately measured and she’s clenching her fist
All the faces in the hallway, they’re so glad to dismiss
The girl who’s desperately desperate for someone to kiss
And they’re always watching, always waiting
For you to come and entertain them
You’re the life of the party
All the lights are getting to your head
Your eyes are burning but you can’t quite look away
The chemicals are running through your veins
You’re trying not to be sick…
