(On the last night of the year) The crowd of strangers storm the Square The countdown and the cheers They'll freeze their a$$es off out there But me I'll stay right here They'll lift a gla** to all that's pa**ed And all that's supposed to be I'll toss the Christmas cards and burn The dried up Christmas tree On the last night of the year On the last night of the year I'll make some resolutions now Like shiny souvenirs They'll wind up crumpled on the ground With confetti and the beer Beneath the quilt I pray my guilt
Will melt into the night My weary eyes will search for signs That I can make it right On the last night of the year On the last night of the year I'll stir the coals and fan the flame At Christmas time each year They'll lift a wish and dim the rain Hope no one can hear I'll shake my head and climb in bed Before the ball comes down That fine champagne right down the drain Auld the quaint will just be drowned On the last night of the year On the last night of the year
