There's no time left for lies The dust can't hover for long So you try and take your time Because it's had you all along You clutch the thin air and try not to swoon You touch the mirror and reach for a towel The sun pours gold into the room And it leaves a sick taste in your mouth You heard the lovers sing "Auld Lang Syne" As the dancers bruised their feet And you thought How come my lips taste like wine When theirs look like champagne? Now there's no time left for lies You dowse the fire and nurse the dark And bend your elbow one more time To kill the lights and stab the clock It's a new year And you don't look your age And everyone seems so happy celebrating Winter this way What time does it end And when can I go Get into that car And drive through the snow?
