Sleeping Through The New Year

Count down from ten, I close my eyes - pucker my lips for a surprise
That no one's standing by to plant a big one up on my mouth
Am I less tempting than a mouse
No one was willing to commit, not even as a bit

Clock strikes twelve and nothing's changed
The spirit left me all the same
Hard luck too bad wallflower old hat
Why'd I think it'd be any different tonight?

Two hours deep into the year, numb to the joie de vive, the cheer
And there is nothing left to fear
When no one pays you any mind, what more does this schlep have to try?
Should I pratfall just so I have something that I can't live down

Clock strikes twelve and nothing's changed
The spirit left me all the same
Hard luck too bad wallflower old hat
Why'd I think it'd be any different tonight?

When the party's over and the guests have all gone home
Will you wake me up so I can scrub the skin off of my bones
When the party's over and the house is spoiled and trashed
Let me sleep in 'til I can't tell this year from the last
When the party's over and the guests have all gone home
Will you wake me up so I can scrub the skin off of my bones
When the party's over and the house is spoiled and trashed
Let me sleep in 'til I can't tell this year from the last

Some new year that this turned out to be
Some new year that this turned out to be
A wrong foot start I scrape my knee
Some new year that this turned out to be

Count down from ten, I close my eyes - I shift right over to my side
And let the sheep herd me to sleep
Right through the new year is alright, substantial change was not applied
It's just like any day or night
It's just like any day or night
It's just like any day or night
