(j.mitchell) Originally performed by joni mitchell. jeff performed it live at sin-Г©new yorklate in the night on december 31 1995. All the people at this party Theyв've got a lot of style Theyв've got stamps of many countries Theyв've got passport smiles Some are friendly Some are cutting Some are watching it from the wings Some are standing in the centre Giving to get something Photo beauty gets attention Then her eye paintв's running down Sheв's got a rose in her teeth And a lampshade crown One minute sheв's so happy Then sheв's crying on someoneв's knee Saying laughing and crying You know itв's the same release I told you when I met you I was crazy Cry for us all beauty Cry for eddie in the corner Thinking heв's nobody And jack behind his joker And stone-cold grace behind her fan And me in my frightened silence Thinking I donв't understand I feel like Iв'm sleeping Can you wake me You seem to have a broader sensibility Iв'm just living on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind And coming to peoples parties Fumbling deaf dumb and blind I wish I had more sense of humor Keeping the sadness at bay Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all away Laughing it all away Laughing it all away
