lyrics
New Year's Eve is a time to get together,
but I don't have a reason to party.
My brain is sealed up in imitation leather.
My stomach regrets last night's Bacardi.
Shouldn't you be out with your friends
so that you can celebrate the end of the year?
It isn't the time to contemplate.
You gotta get going now you're late for the year.
I'm not ready to leave this year behind me.
I'm not ready to open up my door
To face the people whose names you must remind me,
to face the things that I always ignore.
Shouldn't you be out with your friends
sipping on champagne glasses filled with warm beer?
It isn't the time to contemplate.
You gotta get going now you're late for the year.
Don't make me leave the apartment.
I'll sit here still when I'm starving,
Amongst the dust and the varmint.
Don't make me leave the apartment.
New Year's Eve is a time to get together,
but I don't have a reason to party.
My brain is sealed up in imitation leather.
My stomach regrets last night's Bacardi.
Shouldn't you be out with your friends
so that you can celebrate the end of the year?
It isn't the time to contemplate.
You gotta get going now you're late for the year.
