about

This is probably the oldest song on the album... written when I was waiting tables right out of college in 1993. Young, unemployed, recently dumped guy, full of angst.
I really wanted to be Jay Farrar here, and I think that it shows.
One of these days I'm gonna re-record this with a bluegrass band.
And yeah, my shoulder was killing me when I was done recording this one.

lyrics

Eight hours away
From a brand new start
And I'm gonna ring it in
On the clock
Making hard-won cash to fritter away on the rent
New Year's Eve
And a whole lot's changed
Things haven't happened in cycles
But octagons
Making hard, sharp turns and I couldn't see what was coming next

And every New Year's Eve is the same
And even those who don't believe invoke his name
"God, make this one better than the last"

Three smokes away
From an empty pack
I would buy a new one
But I've got no cash
So I guess I'll just quit and live a few more miserable years
New Year's Eve
And nothing's changed
Things just haven't gone
The way I've planned
Well I still don't have a job that can pay the rent

And every New Year's Eve is the same
And even those who don't believe invoke his name
"God, make this one better than the last"

Yeah, every New Year's Eve is the same
And even we who don't believe invoke his name...

I've dropped the ball
