So this is the new year
And I don´t feel any different
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance
In the distance

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
No self-assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

So 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 dialogs bleed into one

I 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 could hold us back

There´d be no distance that could hold us back

There´d be no distance that could hold us back

So this is the new year
So this is the new year
So this is the new year
So this is the new year
