Everybody's Laughing

It was the last night of the 20th Century

And the party was going strong

Champagne, beer wine and whisky

Everyone was totally gone

2am in the morning I see a stranger walking in

Said his name was Charlie and somebody'd sent for him

Then everybody's laughing, everybody's high

Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

I'd never seen such a queue for the bathroom

Since I hung out at The Sunset Bar

And that line of Californian denial

Didn't stretch even halfway as far

I never had so many people boring me to death

Am I the only fool that needs to go to bed?

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high

Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

Just wanna die

If you're staring in the face of temptation

But it don't blow your skirt up high

You're naive to the situation

'Til your friends get that look in their eyes

'Cause when they ask the question

Why I never had a try, I said

"Take a look around the room, you'll see the reason why!"

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high

Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

Don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high

Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

No I don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high

Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high

Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
