I Lost My Wife At a Key Party

1970s, Funk, Bass, Psychedelic, Groove, Disco

{Spoken)

Hey - have you seen my wife? 
She's here - among the other wives. 
Feeling...high.

(Verse 1)
It was a night in the hills, where the lights shined low,
We swayed to disco beats, all bodies aglow.
They passed the bowl, with a wink and a grin,
Each key like a secret, each room like a sin.

Now I’ve been searching from floor to floor,
Through satin sheets and open doors,
I swear I saw her last by the bar,
Now I’m lost in the haze and I’ve wandered too far.

(Chorus)
I lost my wife at a key party,
She slipped away into the dark.
I’m roaming halls, feeling half-hearted,
In every room, I’m missing the mark.
Just strangers' faces and tangled embraces,
Where’s my wife? Lost in these spaces.

(Verse 2)
In velvet rooms with candlelight,
I find coke and gin, oh, what a sight!
I call her name, but the music’s too loud,
And I’m just a stranger in the crowd.

Through feathered boas and sequined vests,
Everyone’s dressed for their midnight quests.
I open a door—too much to see,
A glimpse of her hand, but it’s not meant for me.

(Chorus)
I lost my wife at a key party,
She’s somewhere deep in the game.
Room after room, this mansion’s arty,
But I can’t find her; it’s all the same.
Just strangers’ faces in warm embraces,
Where’s my wife? In endless spaces.

(Bridge - Spoken, over a slow, funky bass)
"I thought this was fun, just a fling, just a dance,
A world of freedom, a second chance.
But now I’m wandering lost, feeling strange,
Is it the coke? Or the wife...exchange"

(Verse 3)
A room with beads and a spinning light,
I see her laugh, in someone else’s sight.
She catches my eye, I see where she's been,
As she moves off to the den...with Ken?

I close the door and drift back alone,
Thinking of keys and love we’ve known.
Did I lose her here, or find something true?
In this wild night, I find a clue.

(Chorus)
I lost my wife at a key party,
But maybe she’s somewhere near.
In this crazy night, it’s hard to start me,
But I still feel her close, feel her here.
Just strangers’ faces, but in these embraces,
I see her smile in endless spaces.

(Outro)
So I’ll wander on, room by room,
With disco lights and swinging gloom.
Maybe we’re lost, or maybe we’re free,
But I found my love, as she found me.
In every room, just a glimpse away,
We’re bound in the night, come what may.

(Spoken)

HEY! 
Pass me the coke.
And...your wife?

(Outro instrumental - heavy funk groove, fading out)
