lyrics

The show was spotted, less than triumphant.
My flow was clotted, encore redundant.
But now it's over, the night just starting.
I'm getting closer to the after party…

The Russian Tea Room — yes, Bowie will be there.
A basement flat / tomb, doesn't matter where.
At The Palomino, Miss Christine appears.
Dan Tana's with Dino, I feel them draw near.
I'm getting closer to the after party…

That's me in the corner.
Don't spoil my reverie.
But soon come the morning.
More mourning, less revelry.

No, no wake-up bomb — who would care to go home?
The hands of Blind Tom, pumping at the piano.
And Booker Little jams.
He's pushing Lena Horne to sing to pretty lost lambs that came to be reborn.
We're all dead drunk and we're all drunk dead.
The difference is none — nothing less is said.
I'm getting closer to the after party…
