All day long she's waiting for the night to ask her out
To be somebody's dancer, to get lost inside a crowd
But there's no need to talk, because the music is so loud
'Til a taxi drives her back into a morning full of doubts

You can feel like a part of something if you're part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty, add a little ice and gin
Wash off the make-up and prepare the aspirin
You can get out of this party dress but you can't get out of this skin

His home is where his heart is at the parties that he roams
He tells himself he can't be lonely 'cause he's never on his own
But all the friends he makes at night, in the morning they are gone
And he's left with his four walls, his aching head, his silent phone

You can feel like a part of something if you're part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty, add a little ice and gin
Wash off the make-up and prepare the aspirin
You can get out of this party dress but you can't get out of this skin

Hearing your own echos in the empty staircase
And you're walking through your dark apartment looking for a friendly face

Because the Polaroid pictures on your fridge won't do
No, the Polaroid pictures on your fridge won't do
No, the Polaroid pictures on your fridge won't do
No, they won't do

You can feel like a part of something if you're part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty, add a little ice and gin
Wash off the make-up and prepare the aspirin
You can get out of this party dress but you can't get out of this

All day long she's waiting for the night to ask her out
To be somebody's dancer, just to pop it in the crowd
But how to move her feet is all she has to think about
'Til the taxi drives her back into a morning full of doubts

You can feel like you're part of something if you are part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty add a little ice and gin
Wash off the make-up and prepare the aspirin
You can get out of this party dress but you can't get out of this skin

Feeling like you're part of something if you are part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty add a little ice and gin
Wash off the make-up and prepare the aspirin
You can get out of this party dress but you can't get out of this skin
