[Verse 1]
Beats keep beating my brains in
Everyone's talking so loud
Why can't we stop for a minute
And pull away from the crowd?
What gives us the right to be so loud this silent night?
Guzzling tequila, spilling cups of coffee
One lover died but another is hoping
Chimes are chiming for hearts that are broken

[Chorus]
Goodbye year, goodbye
Please don't make us cry
So long year, so long
We'll sing you out with a song

[Verse 2]
The party started at noon o'clock
Might go 'til the break of dawn
Brother and sister pretend to be lovers
Everyone's so careful not to let on
It's been good, it's been bad
Oh so happy, awful sad
Chocked so full for less than empty
My bank account is down and out and overdrawn
I could go on and on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
Goodbye year, goodbye
Please don't make us cry
So long year, so long
We'll sing you out with a song
Goodbye year, goodbye
Goodbye year, goodbye
