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

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'
So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

Livin' it up, livin' it up, livin' it up
