The Dismemberment Plan

The Dismemberment Plan is a Washington D.C. based indie rock band formed on January 1, 1993.

The band members included Eric Axelson (bass), Jason Caddell (guitar), Joe Easley (drums) and Travis Morrison (vocals and guitar). Axelson, Caddell, Morrison and original drummer Steve Cummings formed the band while attending various Northern Virginia high schools (Axelson, Cummings, and Morrison attended Lake Braddock Secondary School together in Burke, Virginia).

Pop open a bottle of bubbly, yeah
Here's to another goddamn new year

And outside, two million drunk Bostonians
Are getting ready to sing "Auld Lang Syne" out of tune
I sit there in my easy chair
Looking at the clouds, orange with celebration
And I wonder if you're out there

Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy
And reflects no light, in day or night
I slip on it every time

Pop open the third bottle of bubbly
Yeah, and I take that bottle of champagne
Go into the kitchen, stand in front of the kitchen window
And I take all my clothes off, take that bottle of champagne
And I pour it on my head, feel it cascade through my hair
And across my chest, and the phone rings
And it's my mother
And she says "Hi honey, how's Boston?"
And I stand there, all alone on New Year's Eve
Buck naked, drenched in champagne, looking at a bunch of strangers
Uh, looking at them, looking at me, looking at them, and I say
"Oh, I'm fine Mom, how's Washington?"

Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy
And reflects no light, in day or night
And I slip on it every time
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy
And reflects no light, in day or night
And I slip on it every time, time, time, time, yeah

So I guess the party line is I followed you up here
Well, I don't know about that
Mainly because knowing about that would involve knowing about some pathetic
Ridiculous, and absolutely true things about myself
That I'd rather not admit to right now
I woke up at three AM with the radio on
That Gladys Knight and the Pips song on
About how she'd rather live in his world with him 
Than live in her own world alone
And I lay there, head spinning, trying to fall asleep
And I thought to myself "Oh, Gladys, girl, I love you but, oh, get a life!"

Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy
And reflects no light, in day or night
I slip on it every time
Hey! The ice of Boston is muddy
And reflects no light, in day or night
And I slip on it every time, time, time, time
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
Yeah
