oh christmas time
we've been waiting
the children are feigning
their sleeping
and they're worried
hope the man in red don't pass them by
couples stroll through
snowy cities
hands intertwined
lit under trees
there's no hurry
everything they need, they're right beside
i must admit
i've been fading
despite all the lives
i've been playing
and i'm sorry
seems like all my wishes are mine
it's a filtering romance
and the colors weren't meant to last
it's a still filtered romance
and the colors weren't made to last
and it's never enough
no it's never enough
well it's never enough
no it's never been near enough
oh christmas time
you've been fading
the paper's been kept
for safe keeping
and i'm sorry
know that all my wishes are mine
the clock read DEC two three
when my ex heard through her ceiling
a drunk in red well sadly that was me
i broke her lights while caroling
the papers spun their own stories
some called me a defender, some pc
the christians and the left wing misread me
(chorus)
<merry christmas>
now the preacher thinks he speaks for me
but i'm fighting for what i believe
it's not a baby but a needle tree
some mistletoe and memories
from my cell i heard sleigh bells ring
the wall came down who did i see
but Santa staring down from his red sleigh
said boy you better come with me
we'll use well your celebrity
and make a christmas documentary
so hop in cos we've got some dreams to keep
(chorus)
<merry christmas>
now we're flying high on christmas eve
and i film him go down the chimneys
we finished up in greece at ten past three
when they see this they'll all believe
then santa poured us a couple tall spiked eggnogs
and he turned to me and he said son
you're last on the list,
what do you want from me?
i said bring my girl back to me
he said there's rules are you crazy?
i broke the tape in rage he tackled me
(solo)
(chorus)
<merry christmas>
now we're rolling around in the street
and st. nick reached back and cold cocked me
<scary christmas>
i woke up with my girl over me
she said that's why we don't do lsd
