The Cocktail Party (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Three Imaginary Boys - 1979)

Blood of Mary fills my glass
Spins crimson in the gloom
Sipping on another cocktail
Waking up in another room
Gaze out on the river
Of the gleaming city sky
Sipping on another cocktail
Watching the world go by

Surge of twilight
Blazing shadows
Seeing things not there
Television flickers
On channel One
And static cracks the air

Yesterday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass

Come sunshine
Come next time
Come... Oh! Come along with me!
I will show you life
I will give you my eyes
I will give you security

Blood of Mary fills my glass
Spins crimson in the gloom
Sipping on another cocktail
Waking up in another room
Gaze out on the river
Of the gleaming city sky
Sipping on another cocktail
Watching the world go by

Come sunshine
Come next time
Come... Oh! Come along with me!
I will show you life
I will give you my eyes
I will give you security

Surge of twilight
Blazing shadows
Seeing things not there
Television flickers
On channel One
And static cracks the air

Yesterday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass
Everyday was yesterday
A nightmare of my past
Sipping on another cocktail
From the same glass
