National Airport
New Years Eve
A Sailor sits alone
Waiting for his 8am flight
Headed to Yokosuka
He stares at the tarmac
Before midnight his father calls
After midnight his girlfriend calls
After that he sleeps on the seats
Tomorrow he'll be in Japan
A resolution
National Airport
New Years Eve
Stands a man named Ray
under the escalator, by the pay phone
He's from D.C., he has a TV
plugged in under the pay phone
Before midnight he makes a call
After midnight he gets a call
He watches Times Square on TV
Tomorrow he'll be back
A revolution
National Airport
New Years Eve
I am looking around
I look in the seats
I look under the escalators
I ride up the escalators
Before midnight I get a call
After midnight I get a call
After that I take the train
Tomorrow is today
An evolution
