The party begins,
So come what may,
Can I get you a drink?
Are you here to stay?
Let me get your coat,
You've come a long way?
Are you new in town?
Are you here to stay?
You're the whore's new catch,
I heard her say,
Can I get you a drink?
Don't go out of your way.
No rules to follow,
We're here to play,
Let's raise the roof,
So come what may.
Is the traffic stopped?
Has your song been sung?
Think again, sweetheart,
Party's just begun.
Let's howl at the moon,
While we're on the run,
These are streets we own,
In the midnight sun.
Gimme time to play,
And a break to fight,
Paint your face on black,
Rent me space in the night.
'Cause it's time to laugh,
Try to set things right,
Start our tango to hell,
Tongues of fire in the night.
So let's raise the roof,
In the spearmint air,
Crush the ice, brew the gin,
In the red light glare.
No time at all,
To weigh down with care,
Let me drown in the sights,
'Till we come up for air.
Are you out of breath, honey?
Has your race been run?
Think again, sweetheart,
Party's just begun.
No rules to follow,
We're here for fun,
Spin into the masses
Bring your smile and your gun.
Paint your face on black,
Shove your troubles away,
Give us one more chance,
Give me one more day.
So let's raise the roof,
'Till tomorrow's today,
Just let me know, honey,
Are you here to stay?
All cards on the table,
Place the final bet,
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel,
Life and death by roulette.
Let me get you a drink,
Not to lose your bet,
And stop thinkin' about love,
Comfort's all you'll ever get.
Are you leaving already?
Has your song been sung?
Well, think again, brother
Party's just begun.
You my girl's new catch?
Give your whore a test run?
Paint her face on black,
In the midnight sun?
No rules to follow,
When it's just you and me,
'Cause I loved her once,
So who's it gonna be?
Would you die for that girl,
With her eyes like the sea?
'Cause I loved her once,
Seen all she could be.
Would you die for him, sweetheart?
When he called you a whore?
'Cause I loved you once,
And I'd beg you for more.
Would I die for you, baby?
Golden hair on the floor,
As you watch yourself stirring,
Delay the gun's roar.
Are you out of breath, honey?
Has your race been run?
Think again, sweetheart,
Party's just begun.
No rules to follow,
We're here for fun,
Spin into the masses
Bring your smile and your gun.
We'll call it off, baby,
If you're here to stay,
Leave us all alone,
In the storm-tossed day.
Let me kiss you again,
Don't go out of your way,
Just let me know, honey,
Are you here to stay?
Welcome to her party,
We're here for her heat,
Start up relentless music,
And sway to her beat.
Take in the light,
You're so anxious to meet
'Cause I loved her once,
And I danced to her beat.
Stop your spinning feet, baby,
If your race been run,
My party is over,
Yours has just begun.
Paint your face on black,
In the midnight sun,
And let's howl at the moon,
While the night is young.
Hold your head up high,
And let's lead the way,
For the gin and the life,
To take us away.
'Cause we're here to forget
'Till the break of the day,
The party's beginning,
So come what may.
