lyrics

BREAKING UP DRUNK ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Silver bells are chiming

I guess we hate each other
Let’s ring them in silence
In silence

Maybe some cabbie’ll go home with a fifty
That I gave him instead of a two

Too bad he didn’t take you

You threw the Christmas wreath in the street
On New Year’s Eve

Our suburban street

Industrial city
East of Chicoutimi

Turn a quarter over outside

It’s better than wishing on a star
Nowhere else, in this town, you’d believe
Breaking up drunk on New Year’s Eve

I could see the sun coming up
As I puked in the sink

We’ve stumbled and fell
Deep in the bad shit well
The bad shit well


Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate.
