Lyrics: The Good Life. New Year's Retribution.

1994
A girl pukes out the window on her car door
Her childish eyes say, ?I don?t want this anymore
I want to be a woman, no, no, see, I don?t want to be no whore?

January 1, 1994
A new year?s resolution
A cause for celebration
But idle hesitation reminds me I am just a whore

Hate to tell her that I saw them standing closely in the cellar
It all ticked off, it?s twelve o?clock, the screams wouldn?t stop
The New Year dawn got tucked away into a hole
So could you tell her, tell her that I?m all alone?

This New Year came too soon
But I knew it would be you
To tear up all my thoughts
Of how I thought it was

Say goodbye
If you?re leaving me, could you at least let me know?
Say goodbye
If you want to leave, then I suggest you go

Let?s smoke cigarettes
But we haven?t got a thing that we can light them with
We?ll just wait here for a fight then we can bum a light
You?re the only ones who really give a shit tonight
It reminds me how nothing ever turns out right

And all I want is you
All you want is something new
So let?s turn out all the lights
And pretend we?re someone else tonight

Good Life (The)
