Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Found a bottle in the rubble, still had a swallow left

Took a sip and gave a toast to everyone I left behind

They said "boy, you're gonna die alone" — hell, that was the plan

Least now I don't gotta share the punch with any other man

Used to have a hundred voices screamin' my name out loud

Now the only thing that calls to me's a hole inside the ground

[Chorus]

And I'm the only one left at this party

The music stopped three towns ago

Someone pulled the plug on the jukebox, honey

But I'm still dancin' slow

Yeah, I'm laughin' but the joke's got no punchline

And the room's so goddamn dark

But I ain't leavin' 'til the whiskey's gone

And I'm the only one left at this party

[Verse 2]

Saw a couple of my old friends hanging from a rafter beam

Told 'em "boys, that's a hell of a way to get out of the clean-up scene"

They didn't laugh. Guess I killed the room.

Struck a match to see my shadow — it was dancin' with a broom

I asked it if it loved me. It just flickered on the wall.

Guess even my own shadow knows I'm bound to fall

[Chorus]

And I'm the only one left at this party

The music stopped three towns ago

Someone pulled the plug on the jukebox, honey

But I'm still dancin' slow

Yeah, I'm laughin' but the joke's got no punchline

And the room's so goddamn dark

But I ain't leavin' 'til the whiskey's gone

And I'm the only one left at this party

[Bridge — spoken, slowing way down]

Y'know... I used to think bein' funny meant somethin'

Like if I could make 'em laugh, they'd stick around

But the desert's got a real dry sense of humor

And right now... [quiet chuckle] ...right now I think I'm the punchline.

I threw the party for myself, you see

Thought if I was loud enough, bright enough, mean enough...

Someone might stay.

[long pause]

But the last guest left about an hour ago.

Took my lighter.

Didn't say goodbye.

[Instrumental break — fiddle and guitar trading sad, drunken lines. A little off-key. A little beautiful.]

[Outro — sung, fading, barely a whisper]

I'm the only one left...

I'm the only one left at this party...

Someone left the door wide open

But the cold don't even start me

I'm just sittin' in the corner

With the ghosts and the debris

I'm the only one left at this party...

[long breath]

...and the party left with me.

[last chord rings out. A single, hollow laugh. Then the sound of a bottle rolling across a wooden floor. Then silence.]
