	Lyrics Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to believe in contradictions How quickly fortune turns to grief when a longing to achieve becomes addiction The weary prophets take their leave They know they can't perceive the truth in science fiction But genius can be so naive and every year on New Year's Eve they're back to their predictions Giants walking on their knees though by small degrees they rise to the occasion They've got to earn their Ph.Ds even Archimedes wasn't born with the equations Major chords in minor keys the songs in season have their roots in resignation So as we scrap our Christmas trees we'll gather round on New Year's Eve to drown in our libations Tarzan's come down from the trees he couldn't hardly breathe with all that air pollution And Popeye's taken to the seas he packed his waterskis and sailed for the Aleutians We're all retired refugees a rebel band that failed to flee the revolution So as we break our guarantees you can rest assured on New Year's Eve we'll make new resolutions What a silly sport to play on the face of a disposable space station The game clock ticks away to the count of an elliptical relation And though we sometimes drift astray we'll make our way to an agreed upon location And at the start of New Year's Day we'll leave the sway of New Year's Eve and join the celebration
