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
|
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy
|
And reflects no light, in day or night
|
And I slip on it every time
