Telephone doesn’t ring FM doesn’t say a word
Only thing that moves is the shadows on the wall
Since she walked out the door the only thing I’ve heard
“Everyday I Have The Blues” playin’ somewhere down the hall

Well I’m starin’ at the moon out the window in my room
Holding my breath and counting down to twelve
It’s almost January 1st might as well be the last night on earth
All by myself but it’s New Years for everybody else

TV dinner’s gettin’ cold next door neighbors making love
Neon shines between the blinds from a bar across the street
Another bottle disappears a few more footsteps in the dust
Everything is faded except your memory

Well I’m starin’ at the moon out the window in my room
Holding my breath and counting down to twelve
It’s almost January 1st might as well be the last night on earth
All by myself but it’s New Years for everybody else

It’s almost January 1st might as well be the last night on earth
All by myself but it’s New Years for everybody else
