The New Year

So this is the new year

And I don't feel any different

The clanking of crystal

Explosions off in the distance

In the distanceSo this is the new year

And I have no resolutions

For self assigned penance

For problems with easy solutionsSo everybody put your best suit or dress on

Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once

Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn

As thirty dialog's bleed into oneI wish the world was flat like the old days

Then I could travel just by folding a map

No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways

There'd be no distance that can hold us backThere'd be no distance that could hold us back

There'd be no distance that could hold us backSo this is the new year

So this is the new year

So this is the new year

So this is the new year
