Costume Party

In a crowded room
Filled with strangers sleeping
An airplane blanket
And pillow on the floor
The sun comes streaming
Through the window
And I can't sleep anymore

Staring at these strangers
Waking up around me
Sitting in a crowd of people
Waiting for the phone
And in a town that's suddenly
Doubled population
I feel so alone

And it's somehow like we're at a costume party
And for a second you are not yourself
You are not yourself
And you look around
And blink your eyes
And barely even recognize
The person in the mirror who's
Turned into someone else

Changing into another woman's
Donated set of clothes
Looking different
Feeling kind of different too
I can't quite explain
But when I woke
When we were finally off that plane
It's like I changed into somebody else
But who?

And it's somehow like we're at a costume party
And for a second you are not yourself
You are not yourself
And you make a wish
And kiss the fish
And wonder how you landed in
This place and for a moment
You've turned into someone else

Ten years later we're back at a kitchen party
You're back at a party
And for a second
You're not who you were
You're not who you are
And you look back on this trip you've made
And all the prices that you've paid
And wonder how the person
In the mirror's come so far (so far)

Suddenly you're at a costume party (suddenly you're at a costume party)
And for a second you are not yourself (for a second you are not yourself)
And in this unplanned moment
You just might be (and in this unplanned moment, you just might be)
Becoming someone else (becoming someone else)
Becoming someone else
