lyrics

its the first of the year
i want it to be perfect
smoother than a fresh damp shave
the walk is longer than what it usually is
and i wonder how i can spend the day
sitting on the park bench i smoke a cigarette
first and only of the year that may be
sitting on the park bench
not feeling the same i did seven years ago
on the first
2 weeks tomorrow done and finished
what does perfect mean to you?
5 am morning drive
i drop my friend off at the airport
and watch em walk between moving doors
sour blister on my tongue
i take a drink from a day old cup --
choke it down, choke it down
it’s the first of year and I want it to be perfect
every passing moment well captured
the glow of a burning building on san Gabriel and broadway
gathers a crowd in the evening
in the evening, I cut out the waiting
get up and leave, it’s time to go
