The partys over
Its time to call it a day
Theyve burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
Its time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
The partys over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend
<instrumental the partys over>
The partys over
<instrumental its time to call it a day>
Its time to call it a day
<instrumental theyve burst your pretty balloon and taken the moon away>
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend
Its all over, my friend
