Pop open a bottle of bubbly…yeah. | |
Here’s to another goddamn new year. | |
And outside, 2 million drunk Bostonians | |
Are getting ready to sing “Auld Lang Sine”…out of tune. | |
I sit there in my easy chair, looking at the clouds, orange with celebration | |
And I wonder if you’re out there. | |
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy | |
And reflects no light, in day or night | |
And I slip on it every time | |
Pop open a third bottle of bubbly | |
Yeah, and I take that bottle of champagne | |
Go into the kitchen, stand in front of the kitchen window | |
And I take all my clothes off, take that bottle of champagne | |
And I pour it on my head, feel it cascade through my hair | |
And across my chest, and the phone rings. | |
And it’s my mother. | |
And she says “HI HONEY HOW’S BOSTON?” | |
And I stand there, all alone on New Year’s Eve | |
Buck naked, drenched in champagne, looking at a bunch of strangers | |
Uh, looking at them, looking at me, looking at them, and I say: | |
“Oh, I’m fine Mom—how’s Washington?” | |
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy | |
And reflects no light, in day or night | |
And I slip on it every time | |
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy | |
And reflects no light, in day or night | |
And I slip on it every time, time, time, time, yeah… | |
So I guess the party line is I followed you up here. | |
Well, I don’t know about that. | |
Mainly because knowing about that would involve knowing some pathetic, ridiculous, and absolutely true things about myself that I’d rather not admit to right now. | |
Woke up at 3 A.M. with the radio on, that Gladys Knight and the Pips song on | |
About how she’d rather live in his world with him | |
Than live in her own world alone | |
And I lay there, head spinning, trying to fall asleep | |
And I thought to myself: “Oh, Gladys, girl, I love you but, oh—get a life!” | |
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy | |
And reflects no light, in day or night | |
And I slip on it every time | |
