lyrics

It’s gone quiet in the house where the party used to be
Maybe they got too deep into the make believe
Maybe their leader crumbled under secrets he kept
He's holding court all alone now by the basement steps
The treachery of the mind when the night never ends
His thoughts crackle and snap like the fire in the den
But where’s your leather jacket crowd and where’s your smart remark
Where's your lover who frowns when the humour gets dark

It's gone quiet in the house where the party used to be
Sometimes I'd hear them holler all the way down the street
Once or twice I stopped in to see if I fit
But I didn’t wear the uniform so I didn’t exist
I wonder where they went
I wonder what they’re doing now that
Their smoke was lost to the wind
Their fire smoulders on the cold, cold ground

It’s gone quiet in the house where the party used to be
It’s gone quiet in the house where the party used to be
