New Year's Eve

New year's eve

Fine dark suits

Paper hats

Les grands salutes

Your tear stained speech

And your wounded eyes

Your frail attempts

To be remembered

Takes me down

Dries me out

It shoves me around

Blows my flame out

The moon is on

And the morning lurks

But the mood is gone

With the fireworks

I lost my faith

In new year's eve

Serpentines

Cheap cigars

Sparkling wine

Fallen stars

Takes me down

It's time to quit

And start again

Only God knows

What we're celebrating
