New Year's Eve

The door was open, I was seething

Your mother burst in, it was freezing

She said, "It looks like it's trying to rain"

I was lost, I felt sea sick

You convinced me that he'd left

You said, "Keep talking, but don't use any names"

I scolded your driver and your brother

We are old enough to know

How long you've been hooked

And we've all been through the war

Each time you score

Someone gets hauled in, handcuffed and booked

Hmm-mm-mm

It felt like four in the morning

What sounded like fireworks

Turned out to be just what it was

The stars looked like diamonds

And then came the sirens

And everyone started to curse

Oh, the noise was disturbing

And I couldn't find Irving

It was like two stations on at the same time

And then I hid your car keys

And I made black coffee

And I dumped out the rest of the rum

Hmm-mm-mm

Nick and Socorro broke up

And Candice wouldn't shut up

And Finn, he recorded the whole thing

Ray, he said, "Damn you"

And someone broke my camera

And it was New Year's

And we all started to sing

Should auld acquaintance

Be forgot and never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance

Be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne

I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas

And I didn't have a plan to come back

I had only a few things, two hundred dollars

And my records in a brown paper sack

Hmm-mm-mm

I ran out on Sheila

Everything's in storage

Calvin's right

I should go back to driving truck

Should auld acquaintance

Be forgot and never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance

Be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
