The Horrible Party Lyrics - Love At The Bottom Of The Sea - The Magnetic Fields

Take me away from this horrible party 

And let me get home to Mother 

Don't make me stay at this horrible party 

And I'll never go to another 

People are shedding their inhibitions and their clothes 

Many are sprawled on divans painting each other's toes 

Everyone seems to be stuffing something up his nose 

A player piano is tinkling ["Anything Goes"] again and again 

Deliver me from this horrible party 

And I will give you some money 

Why, why are we at this horrible party? 

And I don't see what's so funny 

Here in the darkness known hitherto only to moles 

People are using the slang they picked up from the proles 

Everyone's finding new uses for muffs and mink stoles 

And ["Anything Goes"] goes again, have they no other rolls?
