Here’s another sad rocker too obsessed with death, time slipping through your hands while your fingers fret. Go from Duluth to the Delta for the things you lack, but don’t talk to the dead because they won’t talk back.
And this is the last party that you’ll ever attend; we ain’t all gonna meet next week to run it back again. This is the last party, so stay as long as you can. This is the last; this is the last; this is the end.
Change your life; change your wife; change your paradigm. Shove your stuff in a truck, move to Mountain time. And paint in any shade you like until it fades to black, but don’t talk to the dead cause they won’t talk back.
Yeah this is the last party, so tell your stories now. It’s a one-way trip on this ship, no turnaround. This is the last party, stay as long as you can. This is the last, this is the last, this is the end. Yeah this is the end.
It was three days later when I made it through. You were a stitched-wrist crumple in the ICU. And your daughter was crying for the horrible mess, knowing everybody dies, whether cursed or blessed, but darkness wins faster when we acquiesce.
And this is the last party that you’ll ever attend. We ain’t all gonna meet next week to run it back again. This is the last party, stay as long as you can. This is the last, this is the last, this is the end. This is the end.
