lyrics

Miles away form the floor below him
Far above the people eating all their vitamins
The kids seem to be just fine
Standing in the golden light of the marquees
Showered in confetti
promises fallen from a sea of dancers
I’m hanging up the party line
I’m hanging up the party line

You’ve been out of luck as an entertainer
You finally hit the bottom ands its hard to see clear
You barely gotta work at all
You spend your cash at shopping malls and the grocery
We’re sending out a message from a friendly island
To all who are marooned or lost or frightened
We’re hanging up the party line
We’re hanging up the party line
He spent a lot of money for your eyes and time
We’re hanging up the party line

He’s favored with defenders of positions fetal
And he tossed a golden apple to the pretty people
All he really knows about life
can be purchased at the checkout line in the market
I don’t understand it
But I bet he’d see us drowning in a sea of answers
We’re hanging up the party line
We’re hanging up the party line
Spent a lot of money on his big red ties
We’re hanging up the party line
Spent a lot of money on the jet he flies
We’re hanging up the party line

Could it be everything that you know
About love circumstance in a waking dream
About saying yes
I’m hanging up the party line
I’m hanging up the party line

Fans of EPD note wit in his lyricism & the raw gravity of his live performances. Listeners will fall under the spell of Nashville pretty boy's ability to create garage-pop which blows a kiss at Squeeze & Harry Nilsson. ... more
