New Year's Day

The new year is here

Standing in a hall of mirrors

Wondering how it all happened

Through tears of laughter

And shockened disbelief

On the edge-of-our-seats

In a theater full of saints

As devils takes the stage

And disappear in purple plumes

Of rum-flavored perfumes

Eating charbroiled doves

With blood soaked gloves

Balancing all hopes and dreams

In the stained glass ceiling

As every breath of life comes

Through hidden doors undone

Every raging rapid singing

Its very own undoing

All the enraptured audiences

With fainting spell crosses

Lances in the very air

With gypsies dancing there

In award winning tomorrows

On the stone steps of sorrow

The forrest of pleadings to stay,

"Dont go away, dont go away!"

You are now leaving all these lines

For a better time, some other time.
