Lyrics
Cocktail Banter
Joe is in the corner he looks very pale
He's been trying to get a date
The women he's been watching think he's very stale
But they're flattered anyway
Nervous at the party
A little edgy and confused
Carrying on so smartly
Paying the cocktail party dues
Jenny's in the center she looks very hot
She dances grooves into the floor
Her partner look sher up and down a lot
He slowly moves her toward the door
Demons in the punch bowl Loosening the tongue
Fewer inhibitions means few restriction on the fun
(Chorus)
Cocktail banter when there's nothing to say
it's all so silly, still we do it anyway
We can't talk to strangers
We don't talk to friends
Man its all bullshit in the end
Linda's by the hor d'oeuvres she eats all the time
She is easily depressed
Another well dressed fellow with his studied lines
He looks for someone to impress
Everyone is speaking
But not whats on their mind
Hidden gray agenda
Loosely laid between the lines
(Chorus)
