lyrics

I saw Joseph in Harlem in a coat of colors
His thoughts they bled onto the sidewalk
Waiting for somebody to pick ‘em up
He said, “Brother, I am tired
I’m bent out by society’s pliers.”
He said, “Brother, you too look tired.
May I ask you your name?”

I said, “They call me New Year’s Eve
‘Cause on New Year’s Day I ain’t worth a thing.
Yeah, they call me New Year’s Eve
So get your bourbon, Joseph
Let’s drink to me.”

My father and talk show hosts and televangelists, Holy Ghost
They’re all trying to tell me the exact same thing
That that my paper it pumps the blood,
But my paper veins ain’t strong enough to give any relief to the brain
But my thoughts are baptized and realizing
That the only thing worth despising is the way I’m in every problem I have
And I made stairs out of all our dead cell phones
They took me right up to Heaven’s throne
And I ran back home
Tell me why I ran back home
Why did I run back home?

“They call me New Year’s Eve
‘Cause on New Year’s Day I ain’t worth a thing.
So get your bourbon, doll
Let’s drink to me.
And until New Year’s Day we will sing”

Let the waters rise
