lyrics

Christmas in E-Town

You were talking just talking when I wanted to dance
I said ok baby lets move to France
Oh well don’t we all
How about Montreal?

Christmas in the city brings rig pigs and cocaine
Money and murder suicide kills the pain
A late night greyhound ride
Chances are someone died

The coldest nights bring warmer dreams
Can’t help but smile what could it mean
We’re all in over our heads

We’re always falling in and out of luck
We’re always falling in and out of luck

Why should we feel ashamed?
It was a setup, we were framed

The sound of the siren gives me relief
It means everything’s working the way it’s supposed to be
The old, the young are giving out
The rest of us gripped with fear and doubt

So where you feel the warmest maybe somebody’s arms
Don’t forget forgiveness it’s all part of the charm
Of having a heart that’s still working
Be careful you never know where evil might be lurking

When you feel like the light has gone out of your eyes
It could be a ruse just a clever disguise
C’mon walk it of…walk it off, look alive

You let out a sigh late Christmas eve
Maybe you’re happy maybe you want to leave
This world behind
If you were a kid this shit would be blowing your mind

Don’t ever lose that part of you
