[Verse 1]
Do you remember anyone here?
No, you don't remember anything at all
I'm here flat on my back
I never woke up; had no regrets

[Chorus]
There's a party in my mind
And I hope it never stops
They party all the time
Gonna party till they drop
Other people can go home
(Other people can go home)
Other people, they can split
(Other people, they can split)
I can never stop
(I can never stop)
I can never quit

[Verse 2]
Take a walk through the land of the shadows
Take a walk through the peaceful meadows
Don't look so disappointed
It isn't what you hoped for, is it?

[Chorus]
There's a party in my mind
And I hope it never stops
I'm stuck here in the seat
And I may not stand up
Other people can go home
(Other people can go home)
Other people, they can split
(Other people, they can split)
I can never stop
(I can never stop)
I can never quit

[Outro]
Everything is quiet
Everyone's gone to sleep
I'm wide awake
But these memories
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
No, these memories
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
Oh, these memories can't wait
(Can't wait)
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
These memories
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait

Living Colour

Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. Stylistically, the band’s music is a creative fusion influenced by heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip hop, country, and alternative rock. Their lyrics range from the personal to the political, in some of the latter cases attacking Eurocentrism and racism in America.

Living Colour rose to fame with their debut album Vivid in 1988. Although the band scored a number of hits, they are best remembered for their signature anthem “Cult of Personality”, which won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990. They were also named Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards and won their second Grammy Award for their follow-up album Time’s Up. After disbanding in 1995, Living Colour reunited in late 2000.
