The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper
must be paid
The party's 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 party's
over
It's all over, my friend

Now you must wake up, all dreams
must end
Take off your makeup, the party's
over
It's all over, my friend
It's all over, my friend
