Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: New Year's Eve
Lyrics for Album: Bad As Me [2011]



The door was open I was seething

Your mother burst in it was freezing

She said it looks like it's trying to rain

I was lost I felt sea sick

You convinced me that he'd left

You said keep talking but don't use any names

I scolded your driver and your brother

We are old enough to know how long you've been hooked

And we've all been through the war

And each time you score

Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked



It felt like four in the morning

What sounded like fire works

Turned out to be just what it was

The stars looked like diamonds

Then came the sirens

And everyone started to cuss



All the noise was disturbing

And I couldn't find Irving

It was like two stations on at the same time

And then I hid your car keys

And I made black coffee

And I dumped out the rest of the rum



Nick and Socorro broke up

And Candice wouldn't shut up

Fin he recorded the whole thing

Ray he said damn you

And someone broke my camera

And it was New Years

And we all started to sing



Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne



I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas

And I didn't plan to come back

I had only a few things

Two hundred dollars

And my records in a brown paper sack



I ran out on Sheila

Everything's in storage

Calvin's right I should go back to driving truck



Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
