New Year

There's so many still alive Holding onto hoping things are gonna be alright I'm sorry kid but not tonight We're pulling down the valences Shutting out the light All the plans and all the schemes All the sleep and all the dreams All the parties that you had And the things we never said Hide at the bottom of the bed Maria dances kinda slow She loves to be in company, hates to be alone Every boy she's ever known Just wants to give her something that she's never gonna own All the hopes and all the fears All the pain and all the tears All the problems reappear As you start a new career At the beginning of the year No one's ever really sure Exactly who the hell it is They want us to applaud Maria took the call She threw her cigarettes and sleeping tablets at the wall All the light and all the shade All the thrill of the cabaret All the alliances we made As the aspirations fade And it's just another day All the plans and all the schemes All the hopes and all the dreams All the parties that you had And the things we never said Hide at the bottom of the bed At the bottom of the bed Hide at the bottom of the bed No one's ever really sure Exactly who the hell it is They want us to applaud And yet they make us clap them more and more and more and more, More and more and more and more and more Maria took the call She threw her cigarettes and sleeping tablets at the wall She threw her cigarettes and sleeping tablets at the wall Right up against the wall There's so many still alive Holding onto hoping things are gonna be alright Sorry kid but not tonight We're pulling down the valences Shutting out the light Pulling down the valences Shutting out the light Pulling down the valences Shutting out the light Pulling down the valences Shutting out the light Shutting out the light
