What Begins on New Year's Day - Guided By Voices

The beds crawl away

Splashing the window

A fresh view

Primary flesh

Flesh primary

A meal I could cook

A toast I’d make

On what begins on new year’s day

The resolution best mops eternal

Calendar queen

Mother numerical

Doesn’t believe

In throwing Christmas cards away

Or anything moves

Perhaps the furniture

Where the homeless snooze

In ticket shirts

For year to year eternities

They wave goodbye

To careless gestures gone away

To what begins on new year’s day
