lyrics

the radiator knocks
like a predator
the faucet drips like a snake
the streets wait to catch your wheels
neon flashes like a carousal

the premature ejaculation of
firecrackers melds with the pounding
of your head against the sidewalk
no talk this is the real hard stuff
it breaks and tears
it's the new year

old lady gets scared
as the night moves in to full cadence
she turns the television up
its lonely blue companion
conjurs up ghosts long gone

it's the new year, filled with new fear

all the good bestowed on me
don't add up to the evil alone
that preys on me
steadily

it's a call to the end
the settlement of lonely blue
a delicate tinkling of bells
as the window breaks
to the call of the old lady's
second hand man

the radiator knocks
like a predator
the faucet drips like a snake
the streets wait to catch your wheels
neon flashes like a carousal

the premature ejaculation of
firecrackers melds with the pounding
of your head against the sidewalk
no talk no talk
it's the new year, filled with new fears
