Bleary eyed and wasted
I wake up to an unlikely dawn
Of beautiful people
All around me
I am at your gateway now

The people are talking
Like they're winning
Like the world's not spinning
Like they're in control
Like they're Marylin Monroe
At a cocktail party
I'm someone outrageous
Like Jean Genet

And I've wasted all my time
On cocaine at Christmas
And bottles of wine
And I'm as happy as a child
Because you don't have to ask me why

I'm in love with the season
I'm in love with the (wretch)
I'm in love with the (wretch)
I'm in love with the drunks

I am Marylin Monroe
I am a cocktail party
I'm someone ugly, beautiful
Like Jean Genet

And I've wasted all my time
On cocaine at Christmas
And bottles of wine
And I'm as happy as a child
Because you don't have to ask me why
