98, it's not too late to get rid of Jack Daw on my shoulder You and I, we forget to be young, we refuse to grow older Everything's nasty today Everything's twisted in some way What a time for a while all the parts of the world seem connected 12 o'clock, primal scream of the boats fill me up as expected Another snow-white New Year's day Everyone's nasty in some way Oh God, the telephone, this good old friend who says hi Have you come to bring me back the joy you have, boy? It's time to take a step into the dark Jack and Johnny, still prepared to beat the future Romantically, we're just supposed to start Another snow-white New Year's Day Leads me astray Everyone's nasty today We're all plain horny in some way Half a word and, I can't tell What you're saying, I can see your smile disarmingly These fragments of your speech sound more like music You kindly speak the truth with half a word I think I have a friend with perfect timing Lonesomely I was about to start Another snow-white New Year's Day Leads me astray
