Oliver Nelson
This Is Not a Party
[Verse 1]
Lulu's doing haircuts though I don't think she can see
Brendan's found a song to match the pace of his heartbeat
Why do I do this? Why do I do this at all?
Edward's on the big white telephone to God
Charlie's coming onto every person he can touch
Why does this happen every time?
I dream in Technicolor and live in black and white

[Chorus]
This is not a party, it's a hurricane
This is not a party, it's a hurricane
And no one really cares so let's pretend we're all okay
This is not a party, it's a hurricane

[Verse 2]
Roxy's made the call although her boyfriend wants to go
Jane's sprawled on the floor and I have lost all self-control
Why does this happen, why must it be?
I dream of space and time and wake up in 2D

[Chorus]
This is not a party, it's a hurricane
This is not a party, it's a hurricane
And no one really cares so let's pretend we're doing great
This is not a party, it's a hurricane
