Ike Reilly New Years Eve lyrics

Ike Reilly
Salesmen and Racists
New Years Eve
Open up
It's New Year's Eve
Livin in the best of times
Open up
It's New Year's Eve
All the swingers have turned to swine

We are only here in moments
Live to work and then you disappear
You had the time
You had the muscle
And the will to wander

Open up
It's New Year's Eve
Kiss the killers and the kind and the crude
I'm lookin but I can't see through you
With your head bowed down in your brand-new suit

When I was a child I was your father
Now I'm a man I could be your son

You had the time
You had the muscle
And the will to wander
You walked away

Welcome back
You looked good I guess
Welcome back
You looked reconstructed

Open up
It's New Year's Eve
Heard the faintest ?
Should all acquaintances be forgotten
Or forgiven as whiskey turns to rhymes?

You were only here in moments
Saved for us ?
You had the time
You had the muscle
And the will to wander
