The Ball Is Coming Down |
| In the city by the river |
| A man is standing on a bridge |
| His eyes to Heaven to the Forgiver |
| Who flips the coins on who should live |
| A naked lightbulb in the corner |
| Naked Mary’s in an unmade bed |
| Spilling champagne on her lover |
| Forgot his name |
| «What had he said?» |
| Chorus: It’s New Year’s Eve |
| Tonight in the city |
| They’re tearing the chandeliers down |
| Boys and girls |
| All dressed up pretty |
| The bartenders buying the round |
| You count your blessings |
| You say your prayers |
| Kiss an acquaintance |
| The ball is coming down |
| The ball is coming down |
| Sadie Hawkins |
| She left the ballroom |
| Mascara running |
| From a fight |
| She slaps the doorman’s face |
| In the lobby |
| He’d only asked her |
| «Are you all right?» |
| Charlie Jenkins |
| Makes resolutions like |
| «Do not drink,» and |
| «Do not fight» |
| His conscience needs absolution |
| It keeps him up when it’s late at night |
