Happy New Year

In the dark of the darkroom all of the liars come in through light

And I walk among the liars out of the daybreak, out of the spark

Ten years ago we were walking down the road

I had my hand in my pocket, you had your arm on my shoulder

We made our way through the dark through the cold

We made our way to the fire where we would never get older

In a wooden frame under a glass pane we’re still the same

And we talk every so often, we find the light between the shadows

And bathed in blue light from a screen, it’s not exactly where we thought we’d be

But that’s how it goes for strange bedfellows ten years down the road

We put a record on, we lit a cigarette,

We opened up our bottles of beer and champagne

Then we toasted to the end of the year

It was a hell of a year, it was stupid insane

Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year,

Happy New Year, Happy New Year is what we still say every year on the same stupid day

Happy New Year, singing Auld Lang Syne with a casual note as to how time flies

When you’re staring at a photograph you’ve got a memory in your mind

Oh I can tell you, friend of mine, when I see you again

We’re gonna have ourselves one hell of a time

Happy New Year Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year

Well I’m staring at a photograph, I got a memory in my mind

I can tell you, friend of mine, when I see you again

We’re gonna have ourselves one hell of a time
