I'm a guy who likes to party and stay out late at night
I love those party faces and those pretty party lights
But there's another kind of party lights that I can't 
stand to see
Cos there's a man in that patrol car and he don't wanna 
party with me

I should'a stayed back at your party
When the party lights were there
I was by your side on a carnival ride
Now it's a roller coaster flashing crashing party 
nightmare

If I ever make it home tonight a more careful man I'll 
be
When I see those party lights come on the party's over 
for me

I'm looking at the stars and all night bars but this 
party isn't real
The only star I see is on his shirt and the bars are 
made of steel
Those party lights that looked so bright just like a 
christmas tree
When I see those party lights come on the party's over 
for me

I should'a stayed back at your party
When the party lights were there
I was by your side on a carnival ride
Now it's a roller coaster flashing crashing party 
nightmare

If I ever make it home tonight a more careful man I'll 
be
When I see those party lights come on the party's over 
for me
When I see those party lights come on the party's over 
for me
