All The People at This Party

Since I am not sure there is a cure for the song stuck in my head (the song offered on video below, that I hope you will play before you read the following), like Helter Skelter, I am taking Joni's back. 

Cue: music (yes, YOU: click it):


All the people at this party
I think Bedhead has a lot of style
Freeman has stamps of many countries
I had a passport; Waltz smiles...

Laggin's friendly, some are cutting
Sometimes I'm watching Kristin from the wings:
Maybe FADKOG, Infant, and Uncool are giving to get something?

When Whiskey gets attention
Bossy and Jonniker running down,
Cusp's got things no one knows --
I take the lampshade as my crown.

One minute I am happy
Then Heather's crying on someone's knee
I say laughing and crying  -- Aimee
WAIT? it's not about me?

I told you when I met you Meg and Minivan
I was thinky
Cry for us all Rho
Cry for Myself in the corner
Thinking she's nobody
And Jesus behind his Joker
and stone-cold X behind her fans
and me in frightened silence
waiting for Carolynnnnnnn.

I felt like I was pretending Nash's Mom
then JenW... woke me
Sass seems to have a broader sensibility
I'm living on nerves and feelings Two Busy
Like Merecat, Patty and Cii -- word
showing up at Deeples parties
waiting to flip the bird.

It's not a lack of humor, UncoolKevin,
that keeps the sadness at bay, 20Something:
it's throwing the lightness on these things, Floyd,
laughing it all away, Lori
laughing it all away,
Manager Mom is laughing it all away.

I'm laughing it all away.
