I parked my bike on 35th and East St
On New Year’s Eve this time last year
I shoved a package store receipt into my pocket
December chill from ear to ear
I slammed the door shut and shook the snow off of my boots
I check my mailbox for your note
And all the while the lights are flickering on and off
The filament had finally broke
Is this a nightmare?
I don’t like dreaming
But the worst parts of this year just keep repeating
At Tommy’s party that night I cried into my drink
The tears and champagne formed a moat
I sank my vessel deep within your champagne memory
But couldn’t fix my champagne boat
The tiny TV set grew louder than a bomb
As the ball fell towards the earth
Amidst the cheers and clinking glasses in the night
I tore myself up searching for my missing worth
Is this a nightmare?
I don’t like dreaming
But the worst parts of this year just keep repeating
Is this a nightmare?
I don’t like dreaming
And as I lay down in my apartment
The blood vessel in my head just won’t stop beating
And the worst parts of this year just keep repeating
