Lyrics & Music
All music written by Mike Cornelison except for “Committed” (M. Score, A. Score, F. Maudsley, P. Reynolds) and “The Party’s Over” (Willie Nelson.)
All music performed by Mike Cornelison except for Marc Seal’s guitar solo on “Higher Plains” and Rich La Bianco’s vocals on “Committed”.
Sample on “It’s Just Wrong” taken from Cheryl Lynn’s “Got To Be Real”
When it comes to singing, on just about every song I record, I always seem to be surprised at how my vocals come out – either surprised that it ended up sounding as good as it did, or surprised that I could possibly butcher any song so badly.
For instance, I feel like I nailed it pretty good on the vocals for Black Widow Stepmom and Miss Vu, but then on my original version of this song, that’s some hall of shame material right there!
So I finally ended up having to bring in an all-star guest singer for this one. None other than Richard La Bianco of Wildon Ash fame. (So that’s what this song would sound like with a professional singer on it!)
Without further adieu, cue up that country hip hop . . .
Turn out the lights the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
What a crazy, crazy party never seen so many people
Laughin’ dancin’ look at you, you’re havin’ fun
But look at me I’m almost cryin’ but that don’t keep her love from dyin’
Misery ’cause for me the party’s over
Turn out the lights the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
Once I had a love undyin’ I didn’t keep it, wasn’t tryin’
Life for me was just one party and then another
I broke her heart so many times had to have my party wine
Then one day, she said sweetheart the party’s over
Turn out the lights the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

I had a friend request some tab for the bass line, so here’s the transcription:
Country Hip-Hop Bass Line to The Party’s Over
I’ve been down here for too damn long
I walk the face of a tired planet
Through dirty towns holding desperate lives
Each sad existence knows of nothing else
We need to head somewhere above it all
We’ll leave behind all the troubles of the day
Can you hear the Spirit call you?
Freeing slaves of their monetary prisons
Your soul of heaven is floating free
Your body of Earth is led to misery
Release yourself of those material chains
And let’s ascend to the higher plains
Look around with a global perspective
Get in tune with celestial directive
I think your family’s bigger than you know
If you know you’ll let your purpose grow
We need to find something much deeper than this
Something stronger than a one-night stand, yeah
People say that you must stay down here
But it’s mortal fear
Your soul of heaven is floating free
Your body of Earth is led to misery
Release yourself of those material chains
And let’s ascend to the higher plains
Your soul of heaven is floating free
Your body of Earth is led to misery
Release yourself of those material chains
And let’s ascend to the higher plains
And let’s ascend to the higher plains
And let’s ascend to the higher plains
And let’s ascend to the higher plains
Turn out the lights the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
What a crazy, crazy party never seen so many people
Laughin’ dancin’ look at you, you’re havin’ fun
But look at me I’m almost cryin’ but that don’t keep her love from dyin’
Misery ’cause for me the party’s over
Turn out the lights the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
Once I had a love undyin’ I didn’t keep it, wasn’t tryin’
Life for me was just one party and then another
I broke her heart so many times had to have my party wine
Then one day, she said sweetheart the party’s over
Turn out the lights the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
