I sit all dully in a beautiful yellow haze
Setting my mind on a perpetual holiday
TV set shows me everything that I need
Guess I'm not gonna get out of bed anytime this week

But I'll be home to New Year's Day
Right now I am far away
But I'll be home to New Year's Day
(New Year's Day)

But I'll be home to New Year's Day
Throw another year away
But I'll be home to New Year's Day
(New Year's Day)

The kids outside on the street played stupid games
Seems they don't even noticed that the sky's turning green again
Spots behind my eyes full of crooked lines
But you can yell all day, then I'm nott listen to a word you say

But I'll be home to New Year's Day
Right now I am far away
But I'll be home to New Year's Day
(New Year's Day)

But I'll be home to New Year's Day
Throw another year away
But I'll be home to New Year's Day
(New Year's Day)

I stand all day in beautiful yellow haze
Sit and stare at the wall as my hair turns gray
Seems to come and throw another year away
But I will not get home, time for New Year's Day

I'll be home to New Year's Day
Right now I am far away
But I'll be home to New Year's Day
(New Year's Day)

And I'll be home to New Year's Day
I'll throw another year away
But I'll be home to New Year's Day
(New Year's Day)
