Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the girls are drunk, maybe so am I
Here beneath the old expressway, I watch 'em walk on by
All the harbors humming, gonna light the crackers soon
I just wanna kiss you beneath the new year moon
[Verse 2]
All the junky kids are tired, every single taxi's hired
Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go, but I don't wanna leave
There's no need to feel so bad, growing up can make you sad
You won't be ignored, all aboard, tonight is New Year's eve
[Verse 3]
Mom and dad are in the backyard with Gladice Night and her peeps
My little brother's in his bedroom with nicotine on his fingertips
My big brother's downtown, scaring girls and fighting surfies
Said I'd meet him by the Danica Bath stand, next to Colin Murphy's
[Verse 4]
All the junky kids are tired, every single taxi's hired
Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go, but I don't wanna leave
There's no need to feel so bad, growing up can make you sad
You won't be ignored, all aboard, tonight is New Year's eve
[Verse 5]
I can hear those Westies blow their horns
Desert boots dragging off the dunes
Downtown's got its own sound whistling through these rooms
And the streets are full of action, the burning signs are hanging high
I just got to get some traction, let the light shoot through my eyes
All the punks are lighting fires, drinking long necks in the park
Some girl is swimming in the fountain singing Buzzcocks in the dark
Your sister always says she's lonely, I stole a New Years kiss from her
As the last train left the station every red light was a blur
[Verse 6]
Now all the junky kids are tired, every single taxi's hired
Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go, but I don't wanna leave
There's no need to feel so bad, growing up can make you sad
You won't be ignored, all aboard, tonight is New Year's eve
[Verse 7]
Now all the junky kids are hired, the train driver's getting tired
Moon is hanging low, rails are rocking slow, shut your eyes and breathe
I don't know why you're feeling sad, it's the best time that I ever had
Oh, let me hold you tight, let me hold you tight, tonight is New Year's eve
[Verse 8]
Alright, alright, alright
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Just come on, just come on
(Na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Who's gonna miss us, who's gonna miss us?
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Who's gonna miss us?
(Na-na-na-na-na)
(na-na-na na-na na-na-na)
