New Year`s Retribution — текст песни (Good Life, The)

1994.
A girl peeps out the window on a car door.
Her childish eyes say, I don`t want this anymore.
I wanna be a woman.
No no, see I don`t wanna be no whore.
January 1st, 1994.
A New Year`s resolution.
A casual celebration.
An idle hesitation
reminds me that I am just a boy.

You should tell her
that I saw them standing closely in the cellar.
It all ticked off, it`s 12 o`clock,
the screams wouldn`t stop.
The New Year dawned
then tucked away into a hole.
So could you tell her,
tell her that I`m all alone?

This New Year came too soon.
And I knew it would be you
to tear up all my thoughts
of how I thought it was.
Say goodbye.
If you`re leaving me, could at least let me know?
Say goodbye.
If you wanna leave, then I think just go.

Let`s smoke cigarettes.
But we haven`t got a thing that we can light them with.
We`ll just wait here for a fight
then we can bum a light.
You`re the only ones who really give a shit tonight.
It reminds me how nothing ever turns out right.
And all I want is you.
And all you want is something new.
So, lets turn out all the lights
and pretend we`re someone else tonight.
