Lyrics
New Year's Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's no time left for lies
The dust can't hover for long
So you try and take your time
Because it's had you all along
You clutch the thin air and try not to swoon
You touch the mirror and reach for a towel
The sun pours gold into the room
And it leaves a sick taste in your mouth
You heard the lovers sing "Auld Lang Syne"
As the dancers bruised their feet
And you thought How come my lips taste like wine
When theirs look like champagne?
Now there's no time left for lies
You dowse the fire and nurse the dark
And bend your elbow one more time
To kill the lights and stab the clock
It's a new year
And you don't look your age
And everyone seems so happy celebrating
Winter this way
What time does it end
And when can I go
Get into that car
And drive through the snow?
