    • So this is the new year
    And I don''t feel any different
    The clanking of crystal
    Explosions off in the distance
    In the distance

    So this is the new year
    And I have no resolutions
    For self assigned penance
    For problems with easy solutions

    So everybody put your best suit or dress on
    Let''s make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
    Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
    As thirty dialog''s bleed into one

    I wish the world was flat like the old days
    Then I could travel just by folding a map
    No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
    There''d be no distance that can hold us back

    There''d be no distance that could hold us back
    There''d be no distance that could hold us back

    So this is the new year
    So this is the new year
    So this is the new year
    So this is the new year
