It's closin' time and they're stackin' up chairs As the band tears down under neon light Another party's over, and I'm a far cry from sober And a far cry from over you Oh, so I'm on my way, on my way On my way, on my way To the after party And with you by my side It's a beautiful ride So ride with me, ride with me, ride And lead me to the after party It's too late now to go home So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light They're livin' it up at the after party Wherever it is, we're goin' Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light And lead me to the after party Oh, I hear the king is still alive He's windin' up Mulholland drive And he will arrive sooner than we think And Marilyn is flyin' in While Ray and John are singin' hymns Have you been slippin' somethin' in my drink? Oh, so I'm on my way, on my way On my way, on my way To the after party And with you by my side It's a beautiful ride So ride with me, ride with me, ride And lead me to the after party It's too late now to go home So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light They're livin' it up at the after party Wherever it is, we're goin' Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light And lead me to the after party Lead me to the after party It's closin' time, still a far cry from sober Still a far cry from over you So lead me to the after party It's too late now to go home So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light They're livin' it up at the after party Wherever it is, we're goin' Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light And lead me to the after party It's too late now to go home So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light And lead me to the after party Lead me to the after party Livin' it up, livin' it up, livin' it up Lead me to the after party
