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 light bulb 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 [Chorus]
