Lyrics:

Its closin time and theyre stackin up chairs
As the band tears down under neon light
Another partys over, and Im a far cry from sober
And a far cry from over you

Oh, so Im on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way
To the after party
And with you by my side
Its a beautiful ride
So ride with me, ride with me, ride

And lead me to the after party
Its too late now to go home
So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Theyre livin it up at the after party
Wherever it is, were 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
Hes 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 Im on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way
To the after party
And with you by my side
Its a beautiful ride
So ride with me, ride with me, ride

And lead me to the after party
Its too late now to go home
So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Theyre livin it up at the after party
Wherever it is, were goin
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
And lead me to the after party
Lead me to the after party

Its closin time, still a far cry from sober
Still a far cry from over you

So lead me to the after party
Its too late now to go home
So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Theyre livin it up at the after party
Wherever it is, were goin
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
And lead me to the after party
Its too late now to go home
So shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
And lead me to the after party
Lead me to the after party

Livin it up, livin it up, livin it up
Lead me to the after party
